Hirohiko Araki (荒木 飛呂彦, Araki Hirohiko, né le 7 juin 1960, à Sendai, dans la préfecture de Miyagi[4]) est un mangaka et l'auteur de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, sur lequel ce projet WIKI est basé. Il a fait ses débuts sous le nom de Toshiyuki Araki ( 荒木 利 之 , Araki Toshiyuki) en 1980 avec son one-shot Poker Under Arms, et a commencé sa carrière professionnelle avec la courte série Cool Shock BT, Baoh : Le visiteur, et Gorgeous Irene.
Son travail sur JoJo's Bizarre Adventure est divisé en plusieurs parties et continue d'être sérialisé depuis plus de 30 ans, totalisant 128 volumes (en octobre 2020), distribué à plus de 100 millions d'exemplaires (juillet 2019).[5] Son style a été décrit comme une "approche expérimentale, mais définitive."[6][7]"
Araki est souvent commenté pour son apparence de jeunesse immuable au fil des années. Il cite l'entraînement et la natation au gymnase et le riz "Hitomebore" comme méthodes pour rester en forme à plus de 50 ans.[9]Dans son interview d'Eureka en 2007, il est complimenté sur son calendrier bien respecté par le psychologue et critique japonais Tamaki Saito, mais déclare que la principale raison pour laquelle il est passé à une sérialisation mensuelle était de ne plus pouvoir gérer le programme hebdomadaire.[10]Araki a révélé qu'après avoir été opéré pour une gastro-entérite, il s'est rendu compte qu'il ne pouvait plus se consacrer complètement à son manga et cherchait à profiter davantage de la vie et à pratiquer d'autres activités telles que les voyages ou la cuisine.[11]
Araki est bien connu pour sa position sur la santé. Il aime se promener et faire du vélo, en particulier dans les sanctuaires japonais, et il félicite ce comportement pour son mécanisme d'adaptation lorsqu'il est épuisé par le travail. Il considère l'exercice comme un excellent moyen de se discipliner car porter trop de choses peut être un fardeau; Araki ne transportera généralement qu'un manteau, de l'eau et un iPod en sortant.[12]
Araki a perdu sa maison ancestrale à Sendai lors du tremblement de terre de Tōhoku. La maison a été détruite par le tsunami à la suite du tremblement de terre, qui l'a choqué.[13]
Marié à Asami Araki ( 荒木 麻emade , Araki Asami , surnom 'Chami' ), Araki est père de deux filles. Quelques années après ses débuts, Araki a rencontré Asami dans une réunion de groupe, et les deux se sont mariés trois mois plus tard.[14]
Araki a grandi à Sendai, au Japon avec ses parents et ses plus jeunes sœurs jumelles identiques. Il cite les ennuis de ses sœurs comme la raison pour laquelle il a passé du temps seul dans sa chambre à lire des mangas classiques des années 70, comme «Ai to Makoto», et la collection d'artbooks de son père. Araki suppose qu'il s'en est inspiré pour dessiner des mangas.[15] Il a été particulièrement influencé par le travail de l'artiste français Paul Gauguin.[16]
Araki a dessiné son tout premier manga alors qu'il était en quatrième année. Il a fréquenté une école préparatoire au collège et au lycée, où un ami l'a complimenté sur un manga qu'il a dessiné pour la première fois. Depuis, il a commencé à dessiner des mangas en cachette de ses parents.[15]
Il a commencé à soumettre des travaux aux éditeurs au cours de sa première année du lycée.[17]Cependant, toutes ses soumissions ont été rejetées.[15] Araki a également proposé ses travaux aux Tezuka Awards, ayant à un moment donné été nominé dans la 14e édition en 1977 pour un one-shot intitulé "La Bouteille" puis soumis sous le nom Toshi Arakino (荒木之利, Toshi Arakino).[18]À ce moment, d'autres artistes qui avaient à peu près son âge ont continué à faire de grands mouvements avec leurs débuts (Ex: Yudetamago, Masakazu Katsura). Araki ne pouvait pas comprendre pourquoi il était rejeté, alors un jour en 1979, il décida de se rendre dans un département éditorial à Tokyo pour obtenir des commentaires directs sur son travail le plus récent. Au début, il avait l'intention de visiter Shogakukan, qui a publié le Weekly Shōnen Sunday, mais a été intimidé par la taille de leur bâtiment, et a décidé de soumettre son travail dans le plus petit Shueisha (Éditeurs du Weekly Shonen Jump) bâtiment voisin. Il était midi quand il rendait visite, mais un éditeur débutant nommé Ryosuke Kabashima se trouvait là. Kabashima, après avoir lu la première page, a aussitôt plaisanté "votre blanc a fui (vous ne l'avez pas corrigé)": il a été critiqué à chaque fois que l'éditeur feuilletait une page. Araki, épuisé d'avoir été debout toute la nuit, avait l'impression qu'il allait s'évanouir, mais on lui a dit de le retravailler pour les Tezuka Awards. Quelques mois plus tard, Araki soumettra un one-shot du nom de "Poker Under Arms", qui remporta le deuxième prix aux Tezuka Awards.[15][19]
Araki a quitté la Miyagi University of Education avant d'obtenir son diplôme, et a fait ses débuts en 1980 avec le one-shot "Poker Under Arms". Sa première sérialisation dans Weekly Shonen Jump fut Cool Shock BT en 1983, [19] avec ses œuvres Baoh : Le visiteur (1984) et [[Gorgeous Irene/fr|Gorgeous Irene] ] (1984) peu après. Sa prochaine série deviendra son oeuvre la plus culte, 1986 "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" ".
Publié dans le Weekly Shonen Jump entre 1987 et 2004 et de 2004 à aujourd'hui dans l'Ultra Jump, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure représente le principal travail d'Hirohiko Araki.
La série JoJo's Bizarre Adventure a fait connaître Araki alors que sa popularité montait en flèche lors de la publication de Stardust Crusaders et Araki a continué à travailler sur la série même après la fin de la troisième partie, qui était la fin de ce qu'il avait prévu pour son histoire.[20]
La couverture de chaque volume de JoJo contient une note au lecteur; une source relativement importante d'opinions directes d'Araki.
Reference to illustrations by artists including Antonio Lopez and Tony Viramontes informs a number of individual illustrations and character poses in Araki's work from 1987 - 1992; decreasing from then along with increased use of photographic references.[22] Limited examples of costumes borrowed from contemporary fashion design have been identified.
As a film fan, In the 1980s Araki noted the popularity of action movies and the muscular physiques characteristic of their stars (such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone). By this example, Araki would ponder; "Who is the strongest person in the world?". Subjects such as immortality and justice occurred to him as things that humans innately value and seek. Araki had also been on a trip to Italy two years prior to the creation of Part 1: Phantom Blood, where he identified the exaltation of overt human beauty characteristic of renaissance art. Araki was particularly struck by the aesthetic of the sculpture Apollo and Daphne by Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The baroque sculpture's striking figures and realistic yet idealized bodies stuck in remarkable poses inspired Araki to heavily incorporate poses in his art and develop his own style.[23] Araki would combine these examples in the formulation of the basic plot and visual style of Phantom Blood.[21]
Araki has named Paul Gauguin and his approach to color theory as an influence.[24]
Araki has described his drawing method as "classical".[21] He has indicated admiration for Leonardo da Vinci in the text of the manga and otherwise; and in a video feature in JOJOVELLER, he is seen making visual reference to a book of Michelangelo's work[25] during the construction of a piece.
Manga that Araki has named as admirable or having had particular influence on him include Ai to Makoto by Ikki Kajiwara and Takumi Nagayasu, the most significant of his youth;[26] Ore wa Teppei by Tetsuya Chiba, which inspired him while in middle school to join the kendo club;[26] and Babel II by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, particularly influential for the concept of combat defined by special rules or laws.[21]
Araki has authored a book on the subject of Horror film and its influence on his work.
Araki has described his habit of naming characters and Stands after musicians and their works as "a simple hobby", and has indicated a strong preference for Western popular music.
