Masakazu Katsura is a Japanese manga artist, known for several works of manga, including Wingman, Shadow Lady, DNA, Video Girl Ai, Is, and Zetman. He has also worked as character designer for Iria Zeiram the Animation, Tiger amp Bunny and Garo Guren no Tsuki.

Masakazu Katsura was born in the prefecture of Fukui in Japan. The turning point in his life was an illness for which he was bedridden, during which time he taught himself a different way to draw. Katsura entered the manga industry in his second or third year of high school, when he entered a work for the Tezuka Award to win the prize money. However, he says he did not grow up reading manga, instead he read novels and watched movies.
