The Japanese mangaka Taiyo Nemuri (ねむり太陽 or Nemuri Taiyou or Taiyou Nemuri). On the cover, his name is transliterated as "Taiyo Nemuri." So, that's what I use. This work is translated into Chinese. His name means "Sleepy Sun." If you like them big, this guy is no sleeper. One thing I like about him is he has heavier guys every now and then, too. So, he's got something for everybody. He has other manga out, but very few I've seen available for downloading. His "Nikudan-pai Panic" is on this site. Check that out, too.
Make sure to check out the shamisen, or samisen, lesson starting on Page 72. The poor guy gets all tied up in knots before he learns how to really "pluck" it.
