هیروهیکو آراکی (荒木 飛呂彦, Araki Hirohiko) متولد 17 خرداد 1339 در شهر سندای استان میاگی[1] مانگاکا و نویسنده‌ی مجموعه‌ی ماجرای عجیب و غریب جوجو است که این پروژه‌ی ویکی بر اساس آن بنا شده است. او اولین اثر خود، وان-شات پوکر مسلحانه را تحت نام مستعار توشیوکی آراکی (荒木 利之, Araki Toshiyuki) در سال 1359 به چاپ رساند و فعالیت حرفه‌ای خود را با بی تی پسر شیطانی، بائو و آیرین زیبارو آغاز کرد.
بزرگترین اثر وی، ماجرای عجیب و غریب جوجو، در پارت‌های متعددی نوشته شده است و پس از 30 سال همچنان در حال انتشار است. تا اردیبهشت 1400 در مجموع 130 جلد از مجموعه منتشر شده است و تا تیر 1398 صد میلیون نسخه به فروش رفته است.[2] سبک او به عنوان «رویکرد تجربی اما متمایزکننده» توصیف شده است.[3][4]
آراکی در طول سالیان به داشتن ظاهر جوان و تغییرناپذیرش معروف است. او شنا و تمرین در باشگاه ورزشی و استفاده از برنج هیتومِبوره را به عنوان روش‌هایی برای سالم ماندن بعد از 50 سالگی ذکر می‌کند.[6] در مصاحبه سال 1386 یوریکا، او توسط روانشناس و منتقد ژاپنی، تاماکی سایتو، تمجید می‌شود اما آراکی اظهار می‌کند علت اصلی که در پارت هفتم ماجرای عجیب و غریب جوجو به برنامه‌ی انتشار ماهیانه روی آورده است، عدم توانایی او در مدیریت چاپ و برنامه‌ریزی هفتگی مانند گذشته بود.[7] آراکی آشکار کرده است که به علت داشتن عمل جراحی دستگاه گوارش، دیگر نمی‌تواند خود را مانند گذشته کاملا به مانگای خود اختصاص دهد و تصمیم گرفته است بیشتر از زندگی لذت ببرد و فعالیت‌های دیگری مانند مسافرت و آشپزی انجام دهد.[8]
آراکی به داشتن سبک زندگی سالم زبانزد است. او از پیاده‌روی و دوچرخه‌سواری، به ویژه به زیارتگاه‌های ژاپنی لذت می‌برد. او این کار را به عنوان روشی برای رفع خستگی کار توصیه می‌کند و ورزش کردن را روشی عالی برای نظم بخشیدن به خود می‌داند. او ترجیح می‌دهد چیزهای زیادی با خود حمل نکند و فقط یک کت، آب و یک iPod را با خود به بیرون می‌برد.[9]
آراکی خانه‌ی اجدادی‌اش در شهر سندای را در زلزله‌ی 9 ریشتری توهوکو در سال 2011 در طی سونامی پس از زلزله از دست داد که باعث بهت و شوک آراکی شد.[10]
آراکی با آسامی آراکی (荒木麻美, Araki Asami, ملقب به چامی) ازدواج کرده است و دو دختر دارد. چند سال پس از آغاز فعالیت حرفه‌ایش، آراکی با آسامی در یک دورهمی آشنا شد و پس از سه ماه با هم ازدواج کردند.[11]
آراکی در شهر سندای همراه با والدین و خواهرهای دوقلوی کوچکترش بزرگ شده است. او اشاره کرده است اذیت و مزاحمت‌های خواهرانش باعث شد تا دوست داشته باشد تنها در اتاقش مشغول به خواندن مانگاهای کلاسیک دهه‌ی 70 میلادی مانند Ai to Makoto و کلکسیون آرت بوک‌های پدرش شود که باعث شد علاقه‌اش به رسم مانگا را کشف کند. به طور ویژه وی تحت تاثیر آثار نقاش فرانسوی پال گوگن قرار گرفت.[12]
آراکی اولین مانگایش را در سال چهارم ابتدایی رسم کرد. او در یک مدرسه‌ی خصوصی در دوران راهنمایی و دبیرستان درس خوانده است و در آنجا بود که یکی از دوستانش از مانگایش برای اولین بار تعریف و تمجید کرد. از آن به بعد، به کشیدن مانگا به صورت مخفی از والدینش ادامه داد.[13]
او در سال اول دبیرستان توهوکو گاکوین سوتسوجیگائوکا شروع به ارسال آثارش به ناشرهای مختلف کرد؛[14] اما هیچکدام از آثارش پذیرفته نمی‌شدند.[13] همچنین وی آثارش را برای جوایز تزوکا نیز ارسال می‌کرد و یک بار توانست موفق شود در چهاردهمین دوره‌ی جوایز تزوکا در سال 1977 وان-شات بطری (The Bottle) را با نام مستعار توشی آراکینو (荒木之利, Arakino Toshi) شرکت کند اما به مقامی دست پیدا نکرد.[15] در همان زمان، او هنرمندهایی هم سن و سال خودش را می‌دید که موفق شده بودند فعالیت حرفه‌ای خود را آغاز کنند (مانند: یودِتاماگوو ماساکازو کاتسورا). آراکی نمی‌توانست بفهمد چرا آثارش پذیرفته نمی‌شدند؛ بنابراین یک روز در سال 1979 تصمیم گرفت به بخش ویراستاری یکی از ناشرهای شهر توکیو برای گرفتن نظر و بازخورد درباره‌ی آثارش مراجعه کند. او ابتدا تصمیم داشت به شوگاکوکان، ناشر مجله‌ی هفتگی شونن ساندِی مراجعه کند اما با دیدن بزرگی ساختمان انتشارات احساس ترس کرد و تصمیم گرفت به ساختمان کوچکتر کناری یعنی شوئشا (ناشر مجله‌ی هفتگی شونن جامپ) برود. او ظهر که معمولا کسی در ساختمان نیست وارد شد اما اتفاقی در آنجا با یک ویراستار تازه‌کار به نام ریوسکه کاباشیما ملاقات کرد. کاباشیما بعد از خواندن اولین صفحه‌ی آراکی تعدادی از ایرادات و اشتباهاتش را به او نشان داد و به او گفت تا آن‌ها را اصلاح کند. هر صفحه‌ی جدیدی که کاباشیما می‌خواند، ایرادات دیگری به آراکی نشان می‌داد. آراکی که تمام شب بیدار و مشغول کشیدن مانگا بود، حس کرده بود می‌خواهد از حال برود؛ اما کاباشیما به او گفت ایراداتش را اصلاح کند و برای دوره‌ی بعدی جوایز تزوکا اثرش را بفرستد. چند ماه بعد، آراکی با ارسال وان-شات «پوکر مسلحانه» موفق شد مقام دوم را در جوایز تزوکا کسب کند.[13][16]
آراکی دانشگاه میاگی را قبل از فارغ‌التحصیل شدن تر ک کرد و اولین اثرش یعنی وان-شات پوکر مسلحانه را به چاپ رساند. او در آینده از دانشگاه هنر سندای فارغ‌التحصیل شد. اولین اثر سریالی او در مجله‌ی هفتگی شونن جامپ در سال 1983 به نام بی تی پسر شیطانی منتشر شد[16] و پس از آن آثار بعدی‌اش بائو (1984) و آیرین زیبارو (1984) به چاپ رسیدند. مانگای بعدی او ماجرای عجیب و غریب جوجو که تبدیل به شاهکار آراکی شد، در سال 1987 آغاز به انتشار کرد.
Published in Weekly Shonen Jump between 1987 and 2004 and from 2004 to the present in Ultra Jump, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure represents Hirohiko Araki's primary brand and body of work.
The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series brought fame to Araki as its popularity skyrocketed during the publication of Stardust Crusaders and Araki kept working on the series even after the end of the third part, which was the end of what he had planned for the stories beforehand.[17]
The dust jacket of every volume of JoJo contains a note to the reader; a relatively great source of Araki's direct opinions.
In terms of cartooning, a comparison can be drawn between Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, and Stardust Crusaders (1987 - '92) and the hypermasculine (and highly dimorphic) anatomical ideals applied by Tetsuo Hara in Fist of the North Star, and referenced by Araki in relation to action heroes of the 1980s.[18] Diamond is Unbreakable ('92 - '96) marks a transition to a more intersexual model; while Steel Ball Run (2004 - '11) sees greater realism, along with further incorporation of ideals of beauty consistent with the mode in fashion design. When he started JoJolion (2011–present day), Araki expressed a will to draw in a looser style and things he never drew before. Hence, he says, he bust shots and increased the amount of white panels and included more white elements in his drawings, in contrast to the darkness of his style present in previous works.[19]
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.[20] 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.[21] Araki would combine these examples in the formulation of the basic plot and visual style of Phantom Blood.[18]
Araki has named Paul Gauguin and his approach to color theory as an influence.[22]
Araki has described his drawing method as "classical".[18] 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[23] 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;[24] Ore wa Teppei by Tetsuya Chiba, which inspired him while in middle school to join the kendo club;[24] and Babel II by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, particularly influential for the concept of combat defined by special rules or laws.[18]
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.
