Timeline
In French, the first volume of Dokudami Tenement (published as Le Vagabond de Tokyo) was an official selection of the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2010. The third volume in the same series was nominated for the ACBD's Prix Asie de la Critique in 2013. In English, the first translated volume of Dokudami Tenement was nominated for the 2017 Broken Frontier Award for "Best Collection of Classic Material".
Fukutani eventually tired of writing Dokudami Tenement, and after missing several deadlines announced that he would end the series in 1993. His attempts to create new series, such as the Yakuza-themed RETAKE, met with little success, and after strong pressure from fans and his publishers, he relaunched his best-known work as New Dokudami Tenement in 1994, continuing for only a few months. Throughout the 1990s he struggled with alcoholism, and was repeatedly hospitalized, before dying of pulmonary edema in 2000.
He took some of his stories to publishing company Houbunsha, owners of magazine Weekly Manga Times who began to serialize the stories as Dokudami Tenement. Fukutani depicted life at the margins of Japan's largely middle-class society, among social groups rarely shown in the media, but necessary for the economic boom then occurring. The popular series ran for 14 years, and was adapted as a live action movie in 1988, three volumes of original video animation in 1989 and two direct-to-video movies in 1995.
In 1979 he used his own experiences about his near destitute life, living and drinking in the Asagaya and Koenji districts while working as a day laborer on construction sites as inspiration for his manga. His first published work was the story Bohemian Rhapsody in the Weekly Manga Goraku in 1979.
After a series of low-paying jobs, Fukutani applied for a position as an assistant to Yukichi Yamamatsu (jp). Fukutani's drunkenness interfered with his work, and he was fired on his first day. Inspired by the experience, however, he began creating manga based upon his experiences and in 1978 Fukutani was awarded an honorable mention in a contest run by Dakkusu manga magazine for his story Tokyo Adieu.
Takashi Fukutani (福谷たかし ; February 4, 1952 – September 9, 2000) was a Japanese manga artist. He is best known for his manga series Dokudami Tenement.
