Takako Shigematsu (しげまつ 貴子, Shigematsu Takako, born 23 August) is a Japanese manga artist best known for her manga series Tenshi Ja Nai!! Her first manga, published in 1995, told the tale of an all-boys dorm. However, it wasn't until her 2002 release of Taiyō Made 3m ("3 Meters from the Sun") that she truly stepped into the spotlight as a professional manga artist. Since then, she has worked on several series, including Tenshi Ja Nai!! ("I'm No Angel!"), King of the Lamp, and Ultimate Venus, all three of which were published in North America by Go! Comi before the imprint shut down in 2010. Takako is also known for her pet pug, Molly, who is mentioned in most of her manga.
