Eiichi Fukui (福井英一, March 3, 1921 – June 26, 1954) was a Japanese manga artist.

During World War II, he worked for Nippon Eiga sha [ja], which produced propaganda cartoons.

[1][2] Osamu Tezuka criticized the breakdown-oriented drawing style of Fukui and other popular artists at the time in his 1953 series Manga Classroom: "Truth be told, at the time I was extremely jealous of Fukui’s drawing.

[3] Fukui died suddenly at the age of 33 of karōshi, overworking, while being pressured to draw the closing of the works for a supplement for Bōken Ō magazine and having drunken a lot of alcohol.

Fukui's death led other manga artists to protest against the low pay for magazine supplements and publishers agreed to raise the salary for these.
