> Many female manga artists use pseudonyms, often masculine-sounding ones, to maintain privacy or avoid potential bias in the industry. One prominent example is Hiromu Arakawa, the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, whose given name is Hiromi Arakawa.

There is speculation that Tsugumi Ohba is a pen name of manga artist Hiroshi Gamo, notably by Toshio Okada.[12][13] Among other supposed hidden clues in Ohba's works, supporters of the theory point out that in Bakuman the main character's uncle was a one-hit wonder manga artist who worked on a gag superhero manga, similar to Gamo and Tottemo! Luckyman, and also that the storyboards drawn by Ohba resemble Tottemo! Luckyman in style.[12]
