I'm honored to have had the opportunity to draw the 'Pink Dark Boy' manuscript and volumes seen in the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (TV Drama). The rough draft of the multi-panel page was drawn by Mr. Araki himself. It already seemed interesting from a single page alone.
—Masahiko Aoki

Masahiko Aoki (蒼木 雅彦, Aoki Masahiko) is a Japanese manga artist credited as the illustrator of the Pink Dark Boy manga seen in the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (TV Drama) series.

History

THE KING OF FANTASY Vol.1

Aoki debuted as a manga artist with his one-shot "Purpose" in a 2004 special issue of Weekly Shōnen Champion. Within the same year, he would go on to publish his first serialized series, "The Demon Hunters" (魔獣狩り, Majūgari) in Young Champion magazine from 2004 to 2005.

Some of his most defining works include "The Town of Butsuzo", a Yonkoma series about Buddhist statues, and "Pretty Max", a coming-of-age comedy manga collaborated with Yokusaru Shibata.[2]

His current works are "THE KING OF FANTASY", an official manga adaptation of a King of Fighters novel, and "Gin's Betting War" (賭闘の銀, Totou No Gin), a gambling manga co-produced with Nobuhiko Tenkawa. Both series are published in KADOKAWA's web magazine, COMIC Hu.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

On December 28, 2020, Aoki tweeted out that he was the one who drew the manuscript and volume covers for the Pink Dark Boy manga seen in the TV Drama. He mentioned that Hirohiko Araki had been the one to draw the rough drafts.[3] The show's second set of episodes a year later produced a similar tweet from Aoki, who once again confirmed that Araki had drawn the roughs.[4]
