Hiromu Arakawa




Hiromu Arakawa (荒川弘, ''Arakawa Hiromu'', born May 8 , 1973 ) is a Japanese Manga Artist . Born in Hokkaido , Japan, and raised on a dairy farm, Arakawa learned a work ethic that would inspire the idea of " Equivalent Exchange " in her renowned manga '' Fullmetal Alchemist ''. Although Arakawa has no publicly released photographs, she usually draws herself as a rather humorous, bespectacled cow in her manga.

Arakawa's career started with a work titled STRAY DOG, but she is best known for creating the '' Fullmetal Alchemist '' world and manga. She has no role to play in the making of the anime, other than being mentioned as the original creator of the franchise.

Arakawa highly enjoys the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movie series. She thinks Darth Vader is the most evil villain of all time, and thinks Sean Connery is the greatest man.
