Moyoco Anno (安野モヨコ, Anno Moyoko, born March 26, 1971) is a Japanese manga artist and a fashion writer, with numerous books published in both categories. Her manga and books have attained considerable popularity among young women in Japan. Though she primarily writes manga of the josei genre, her current series, Sugar Sugar Rune, (serialized in Nakayoshi) is targeted at primary school-aged girls. In a recent Oricon poll, she was voted the number eight most popular manga artist among females and thirteen in the general category. Her manga Happy Mania was made into a television series in 1998. Hataraki Man is also being made into a television series starting October 2007. Sakuran was made into a movie in 2006. Moyoco is married to famous anime director Hideaki Anno.

Her works include:

Moyoco Anno is usually working on a new volume of the Sugar Sugar Rune books every six months or so.

In the movie Japan Sinks, she has a cameo role alongside her husband; their characters were also married. The movie was directed by Shinji Higuchi, who, like her husband, is a co-founder of Gainax.

Manga artist Kō Kojima (creator of Sennin Buraku) is her uncle.

She won the 29th Kodansha Manga Award for Children's manga in 2005 for Sugar Sugar Rune.[1]
