Umetaro Azechi was born in 1902 in Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, on the island of Shikoku. For someone who intended to pursue a career as an artist, Umetaro's life began with two disadvantages: his birthplace was far from the major cities, and his parents were poor farmers.

Nevertheless, Umetaro Azechi wanted to become an artist. Often, people from an underdog position develop astonishing energy when they have a goal in mind. Umetaro belonged to this species. He purchased a correspondence art course from Tokyo. In 1920, he came to Tokyo, took a job as a newspaper delivery boy, and continued his correspondence art course.
