of course. i have a friend who lived there a few years to teach english a second language i dont know what i manga-ka is, but you'd need a student or a work visa

As long as you have an appropriate Visa to live in Japan yes. To get a work visa for Japan you need a bachelors degree and a Job offer in Japan. However one has to look at more realistic goals. If you do not speak, read, write Japanese fluently, and have connections in Japan, that on top of the other problems of being a foreigner in Japan, becoming a successful Manga artist is a long shot.

It's not impossible, but it's not easy either. You'll need a four year degree. This is what their government requires, not the companies...You need a work visa to work there. And to get a work visa you need a solid job offer before you get there. If you want to work for a Japanese comapany, you would need to learn how to speak, read, and write Japanese at a native level. Just learning to speak Japanese is no easy task. And learning to read and write it is even harder. You need to remember at least 3,000 characters just to be able to read a newspaper! Please, don't listen to the people who try to make you think this is an easy thing to do. It's not. And it will take alot of work to reach your goal.
