She grew up in Fukuoka until 1933 (she was a second-year student at the old Fukuoka Prefectural Fukuoka Higher Girls School). Following the death of her father, she moved to Tokyo and later graduated from Yamasaki Higher School for Girls (now Yamasaki Gakuen Junior College). After studying in Shangu Gao Nu, he studied with the cartoonist Tian He Shuiao. After the outbreak of World War II (Pacific War), he was evacuated to Fukuoka Prefecture and worked in the Academic and Art Department of the West Japan Shimbun. He retired after the end of World War II. In 1946 (21 year of Showa), Machiko Hasegawa published "Miss Salamander"() in the Fukunichi News, a local newspaper in Fukuoka Prefecture, becoming the first person to publish a four-frame news cartoon. Later, the cartoon was transferred to the New Evening Magazine and the Asahi Shimbun, during which it was interrupted several times and the serialization lasted until 1974 (Showa 49). She and her sister co-founded the sister club and served as a representative. In 1970 (Showa 45), in order to safeguard intellectual property rights, Hasegawa Machiko filed a complaint against the Tachikawa Bus Company, which used the character pattern of "Miss Saussule" without the author's consent.
