Tsugumi Ōba is the enigmatic author of Death Note, whose true identity remains a closely guarded secret.
Born in Tokyo, Ōba is known for developing manga plots while sitting in a chair with knees held up, mirroring a habit of the character L from Death Note.
There is speculation that Tsugumi Ōba is a pen name for Hiroshi Gamō, based on similarities between Ōba's work and Gamō's Tottemo! Luckyman manga.
This theory is supported by parallels drawn in Bakuman, another of Ōba's works, where a character shares similarities with Gamō.
Ōba's talent for crafting intricate plots and morally complex narratives has earned them a devoted following in the manga world.
