Hirohiko Araki (荒木 飛呂彦, Araki Hirohiko), born June 7 1960 in Sendai, Japan is a manga artist. He left school before graduation from Miyagi University of Education.

Araki is best known for his long running series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, published in Weekly Shonen Jump starting in 1987. The story is full of references to Western music and Italy, both of which Araki is reportedly very fond. Many of Araki's creations have been translated and released in Europe but so far only JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Baoh have been released in the United States. One popular theory is that Araki's frequent references to Western music may violate American copyright laws. Viz has eluded much of this problem in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by replacing some band references with album or song references, which do not appear to be as strictly guarded.

Araki has received the Tezuka Award.

Never getting old :D

I'm quite surprised at how small and fragile he looks, all his characters look so manly and virile, so the difference in appearence is quite shocking, however he is indeed cute and looks so young for his age, damn japanese.

@kusushi:
He's obviously a vampire.
JJBA is the retelling of his past incarnations.


kusushi | 03-14-13, 4:57 PM
He is 52 years old but still looks young.
Why? Because he is a hamon (ripple) master.

@ DATA_EXPUNGED

I've yet to play a JRPG that has Italian vigilante gangsters, fishing poles being used as weapons, humans transforming into snails, deformed Disney characters coming to life, a horse race across America, the scattered remains of Jesus and sailors with four testicles.

i feel so sorry for you and the other guys around who cant understand the hard work and dedication put into his works...
vento aureo + made jojo series look even better and to this day jojo's long running series is considered a jewel and a symbol.
what kind of "JRPG cliches" bulls are you talking about? get your facts right and then come back and complain after you surpassed araki... after all, millions of jojo fans cant be wrong
