Hirohiko Araki made his manga debut in 1981 with the Wild West story Busô Poker. He experimented with several genres, including mystery (Mashonen B.T.) and action-horror (Baoh), before beginning JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in 1986. Propelled by imaginative storylines, weird imagery, and individualistic artwork, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of the longest-running and most popular shonen manga ever. Araki's current works include a new series set in the JoJo universe, The JOJOLands.
