Miura Miki.

"Cherryko" is the pen name of manga artist Miura Miki. She was born in Shimizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and her family ran a fruit and vegetable store. It was a place with convenient transportation, rich fishery products, and adjacent to Mount Fuji. In 1986, Sakurako began to serialize the comic "Chibi Maruko-chan" based on her childhood life in the girls' comic magazine "Ribon".

The story revolves around Maruko, his family, and classmates. It is about family, friendship, or some small things in life. There are laughter and tears in it, which reminds people of the childishness of childhood.

In the anime, Maruko-chan, who has a mushroom head and wears a red suspender skirt, is almost the "shadow" of the cartoonist himself. She gave the protagonist the same name, date of birth, blood type, zodiac sign, etc. The characters in comics can also find prototypes in reality.

Loved by the audience

The manga "Chibi Maruko-chan" ended on December 31, 2011, but the animated version is still being serialized, with more than 1,000 episodes by 2013. The broadcast of the animated version brought Maruko-chan out of Japan and landed in China, South Korea, Thailand and other Asian countries, setting off an upsurge in ratings and peripheral product collection, becoming an anime character that is particularly sought after by children and even adults.

In the hearts of many viewers, "Chibi Maruko-chan" is not only an animation work, but also carries the memories of childhood in their hearts. The Maruko family is a true microcosm of Japanese society at that time. They were not wealthy but harmonious and happy. The work uses line drawing to depict daily life, and many details are similar to daily Chinese family life, which can easily trigger protests.
