Naoya Moriyasu (1934-1999) has probably the most informative chapter in the book. While he didn't achieve any real fame, he did draw a lot. The Japanese wiki entry lists over 30 "principal" works, including "Rantan Matsuri", "Akai Jitensha" (Red Bicycle), "Suzuran no Hanasakeba" (Blooms of the Lily of the Valley), "Kamera no Onechan" (Camera's Older Sister) and "Mizuiro no Booto to Tomoni" (Sharing the Light Blue Boat).
According to his Monogatari chapter, he was born in Okayama, and traveled to Tokyo around 1953 to try to break into the manga market. He had an introduction to Suiho Tagawa, creator of "Norakuro" and he wormed his way in to work as an assistant. One former assistant had been Machiko Hasegawa, creator of "Sazae-san", and three of the current ones were Yuu Takita, and the Yamane twins Akaoni and Aooni. After a little while, Naoya tried shopping one of his own stories around but none of the publishers wanted it. Depressed, he found himself being introduced by Hideo Furusawa (director on "Gulliver's Travels") to Terada, and then moving in to Tokiwa. But, he supposedly was too lazy to actually draw anything. So, with about six months of rent past due, he ran back home to Okayama. In revenge, Terada drew up a "Wanted Dead or Alive" poster, with a $10 reward. When he saw this, Naoya became angry at the price being so low, and increased it up to $10,000 himself.
