My idol is Hirohiko Araki, he is a manga artist, the most well-known for his long-running series “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, which began it’s publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1987 and has over 120 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-manga selling manga series in history.
I’m not gonna tell you his past lives because it’s just wayy too long to write.
Anyway, his first serialization isn’t JoJo, but “Cool Shock B.T.” in 1983 about a young magician who solves mysteries. But his first series to display his signature amount of gore was “Baoh” which released in 1984, it tells the story of a man who is implanted by a parasite by an evil companies, giving him superpowers, and follows as he fights against them.
His next series would be his masterpiece, in 1987’s “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, which in my opinion is a very unique and yet different than others, the story itself are very well written and never bores me. Some unique concept he has written are hamon, stands, and spins. Hamon or alternatively known as ripple, is an ancient way technique of breathing which allows its user to extend their life force into sunlight energy. Stands are physical representation of it’s user soul giving it a unique way that only visible to fellow stand users, stands are like a body guard that “stands” beside you, hence they’re called stands. Last one is spin or alternatively known as “Kaiten” is a natural phenomenon wielded by many characters in the series, and it is a state of perfect, if not near-perfect rotation which produce a unique rotational energy that can be possessed by it’s users giving it an ability to harness the power of Infinity.
Beside of drawing he likes to go swimming in the gym, eating healthy, and etc, which makes him looks young beside he’s 63 years old at the moment. He also loves to go traveling to look around for a reference to his work.
