Yoshiko Nishitani (西谷祥子 Nishitani Yoshiko born 2 October 1943) was a pioneering shōjo manga artist who released her works in Shōjo Club and Margaret. According to Matt Thorn Nishitani more or less single-handedly invented the school campus romance that remains the mainstay of shôjo manga today and Robert Petersen regards her innovation as giving her characters personality.
