The information on this page is drawn from an article by Satoshi Takagi, 'A Bibliographical Introduction to the Works of Nakajima Taneji', which was published in Tanteidan magazine 65 of March 2001.

Unfortunately this article does not give any biographical information about Taneji Nakajima and I have not succeeded in finding any elsewhere. Kunihiko Kasahara has said that he never married and did not have children (information from Nobuko Okabe).
