Kiyohiko Azuma(東清彦 or あずまきよひこAzuma Kiyohiko, born May 27, 1968 in Takasago, Hyōgo Prefecture) is a Japanese manga author and artist. In his manga he writes under the hiragana form of his name, which has led some people to confuse him for a female (as there is no way to tell if the end of his name is the feminine -ko or the masculine -hiko). He used to use the pen name Jōji Jonokuchi(序ノ口譲二Jonokuchi Jōji) in his H manga. He graduated from Hyōgo Prefectural Kakogawa East High School in Kakogawa and Kobe Design University.
