Chiba Tetsuya Shō
An award for newcomers in the industry, judged by the veteran Chiba Tetsuya, the prize is given through two seinen magazines published by Kodansha that both began in the early 80's (Young Magazine and Morning). Though Chiba himself is not a major contributor to either magazine, he did short serializations in both from their first issue when the award was established for them.

Comics Code Authority
Created in 1954 amidst controversy subsequent to the publication of Dr. Fredric Wertham's book "Seduction of the Innocent", publishers established the code to curb potential governmental regulation. The fall of the Code is most often attributed to Alan Moore and his work on the Swamp Thing in the 80's.
