Hiromu Arakawa
Hiromu Arakawa (è'å·å¼˜,
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 old man.

* I love B movies. I love the way they make me think 'What the heck is this?! That's crazy!' yet still draw me in so that I watch the whole thing. I really like that feeling, and I like to bring a little of that kind of over-the-top flavor to my own manga. (Hiromu Arakawa, 2002)
