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.

This guy.. is 48 years old and looks like this?

Does his stand give him eternal youth or what?

God descended from the skyes, and brought us a story about a man whose bloodline fights against vampires and evil entities. Those tales are a exhibition of courage, willpower, love and elegance. When it reaches it's end, every thinking being will star sleeping, and, at the Final Twilight, a new Sun will emerge, life will restar again, and humans will rebuild the society into a place where everyone can live happily and prosperous. The sky will be green, th greenery becomes blue and colors will mix up, changing our conception of art and nature.
God will be watching his spectacle, as he's sitting on his throne, a the top of the highest mountain in the world, as he drinks wine and smiles simmetrically.
