Tetsuji Fukushima ( ; February 19 1914-1992) was a Japanese manga artist.
Fukushima was born in the Fukushima Prefecture. From January 1949 to February 1956, his science fiction comic series Sabaku no Maà  ( ) appeared in the Bà Âken à  magazine by Akita Shoten. He was inspired for this manga by the Middle Eastern tale of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. Sabaku no Maà  was also published in nine anthologies after the magazine publication. The manga's drawing style was influenced by American comics, which the editor of magazine had bought from the occupation army and given to Fukushima as a reference.
Hayao Miyazaki cited an episode in Sabaku no Maà  as a great inspiration for his film The Castle in the Sky: "As a student, I read it [Sabaku no Maà Â] over and over again with a pounding heart. There was an episode about a gemstone that gave you the power to fly. I was so moved by it that I wanted to make a film about a magic stone.âÂÂ
Fukushima's other works include Inazuma Dà Âji (; 1954), Kaijin Z () and Shippà « Kenshi (; 1956âÂÂ1957).
