Early life
Araki grew up in Sendai, Japan, with his parents and younger identical twin sisters. He cites his sisters' annoyances as the reason he spent time alone in his room reading manga, naming Ai to Makoto as the most significant to him. He believes that his father's art books were the reason for drawing manga; he was especially inspired by French artist Paul Gauguin's work. After a school friend lauded his manga, he began secretly drawing manga behind his parents' backs. In his first year of high school, he submitted his first work to a magazine. All his submissions were turned down, though other artists of his age or younger were making their debuts. He stayed up all night to finish at the publisher's Tokyo offices to find out why in person, taking a manga, Poker Under Arms, he stayed up all night. The Shueisha editor sparked a lot of criticism, but said it had the ability and should be cleaned up for the forthcoming Tezuka Awards.
Araki left Miyagi University of Education before graduating, and made his debut with Toshiyuki Araki (, Araki Toshiyuki) in 1980, which was a "Selected Work" at that year's Tezuka Award. Cool Shock B.T. was his first serialization. In 1983, a young magician who solves mysteries. However, Baoh's 1984 was the first series to showcase his signature amount of gore. It tells the tale of a man who is implanted with a parasite by an evil organisation, giving him superhuman abilities, as he fights against them. In 1989, it was turned into an OVA, and Viz Media announced it in the United States in 1990 (in tank-bon form in 1995), but the OVA didn't get a stateside release until 2002. He didn't realize his signature art form of buff, muscular figures until 1988, which would later be more flamboyant).
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, 1987, will be his magnum opus, as his next series will be his magnum opus. Jonathan Joeman (JoJo) and his adopted brother Dio Brando, who later attempts to murder their father in order to get their father's inheritance. When confronted, Dio puts on an ancient mask that turns him into a vampire. JoJo then learns about a breathing technique called hamon, which gives JoJo various abilities to combat Dio. He then flies to Dio's castle to murder him. JoJo's descendants are traced back to the Joestar family, and several of them are set in different parts of the world. Part 3, which is expected to be the most popular part of the series, downplays the vampire tale and hamon method and instead introduces the power of Stands, which continues in the series today. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has been adapted into several other media platforms, and the manga has seen 120 million copies in print by 2022, despite being serialized more than 30 years later. Araki wrote JoJolion, the eighth story arc of the series, from 2011 to 2021, and Ultra Jump magazine featured it.
