Yoko Koyama (1937-) is a Japanese mangaka who worked mostly in the field of shōjo manga and is known for her characteristic drawing style and storytelling
Some of her best-known works such as 'Karatachi no Koji', 'Banzai! Lady President' and 'Mother, Don't Cry' stand out by her sensitive portrayal and emotional plot development.

Yoko Koyama was active as a mangaka in the Shōjo genre for decades! Until 1965, most Shojo manga were drawn by men and Yoko was one of the first women to break this monopoly.
Shōjo (少女, literally translated ‘girl’ or ‘young woman’) is a movement or genre within manga and anime aimed at girls, this as a counterpart to shõnen which focuses more on boys.

Fun fact; Yoko Koyama is also a well-known ukulele player
