Timeline
His manga have not been translated into English. However, the first four volumes of Atagoul wa Neko no Mori have been translated into French in 2015.
His work has been exhibited several times in art museums in Japan, among them solo exhibitions at Hachiōji Yume Art Museum in Tokyo in 2007, Sumida Hokusai Museum in 2018 and Yamagata Museum of Art in his home province in 2022. A public transport bus in his hometown of Yonezawa features characters from Atagoul.
After the popularity of the 1985 adaptation of Night on the Galactic Railroad, other anime films based on Miyazawa's work also used character design inspired by Masumura, like Spring and Chaos (1996, directed by Shōji Kawamori) and The Life of Budori Gusuko (2012, also directed by Gisaburō Sugii). Atagoul was adapted into an CG-animated short released in 2004.
Starting from 1983, Masumura has adapted several stories by Kenji Miyazawa into manga. In 1983 alone, he released adaptations of Night on the Galactic Railroad, Gauche the Cellist, Kaze no Matasaburo and The Life of Budori Gusuko. Night on the Galactic Railroad was adapted into a successful anime film in 1985 under the direction of Gisaburō Sugii.
Masumura started his career in 1973 at the age of 21, when he was the runner-up in the 5th Tezuka Award and subsequently got to publish his debut work Kiri ni musebu yoru in Weekly Shōnen Jump, still using the kanji version of his name (増村博) rather than the hiragana one he would subsequently use. In 1975, he published a few short stories in the alternative manga magazine Garo, which were his first stories set in the Atagoul universe. The series Atagoul Monogatari started 1976 in the manga magazine Manga Shōnen and became the first of several spin-off series that he drew for different magazines until 2011. Over 6 million copies of books within the Atagoul universe were sold as of 2007.
Besides the Tezuka Award in 1973, Masumura received the following awards:
