荒木飛呂彦
His greatest influence comes from such things as "Shōnen Jump" manga and shōjo manga en masse. About manga, he is a passionate fan of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"; in a dialogue with Hirohiko Araki, the author of the manga, he commented this is "a manga he would like all humanity to read." Among his references, references to JoJo are particularly common and in a novelization project of the series called "VS JOJO", together with Kouhei Kadono and Ōtarō Maijō, he wrote one of the novels that were published, called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Over Heaven".
