- He wrote dark, surreal stories that were tragic and ambiguous.
- Comic books illustrator.
- He retired from the comics industry in 1987. Since then, he has cooperated with the filming and reprinting of his works.
- At the age of 14 he embarked as a stowaway on a cargo ship for the United States, but got caught by the coastal guards and sent back to his family.
- Tsuge briefly served as assistant to manga comic artist Shigeru Mizuki, and was influenced by him in his own artwork.
- From 1966-1976, Tsuge travelled throughout Japan, visiting the small villages, uninhabited regions and other places unknown to the public. This was a source of ideas for new stories.
- I have this idea to break up and rearrange the various parts of dramatic composition, like by drawing just the climax and folding the other elements into it.
