| abstract | - Monkey Punch (モンキー・パンチ Monkī Panchi) is the pen name of mangaka Kazuhiko Katō (加藤一彦 Katō Kazuhiko, born May 26, 1937), creator of the successful Japanese manga series Lupin III. He was born in Hamanakachō, Hokkaidō. Katō first started to work as a mangaka under the pen name Kazuhiko Katō (加東一彦 Katō Kazuhiko, pronounced the same as his real name, but written with different characters) for a publisher that specialized in rental books and magazines. In 1965, he made his debut with "Playboy School" (プレーボーイ入門, Purēbōi nyūmon), writing under the name of Eiji Gamuta (がむた永二 Gamuta Eiji). Subsequently, he changed his pen name to Monkey Punch, which he intended only as a throwaway name, but it stuck. His manga series Lupin III made its debut in 1967 in the first issue of the Japanese magazine Weekly Manga Action (WEEKLY漫画アクション). It became extremely popular and successful, being turned later into an animated series and yielding several movies by various directors (including Hayao Miyazaki.) Monkey Punch has acknowledged the influence of Mad Magazine artists Mort Drucker and Sergio Aragonés on his work.
