Real name: Hiromi Arakawa Her selfportrait is usually that of a bespectacled cow as she was born and raised in a dairy farm with three older sisters and a younger brother. Arakawa started out as Etou Hiroyukishttps://anilist.co/staff/98901/ assistant writer for Mahoujin Guru Guruhttps://anilist.co/manga/34080/ and a friend of Shakugan no Shanahttps://anilist.co/manga/33074/ author Yashichiro Takahashihttps://anilist.co/staff/99114/. Arakawas career started with a work titled STRAY DOGhttps://anilist.co/manga/33303/ but she is best known for creating the Fullmetal Alchemisthttps://anilist.co/manga/30025/ world and manga. The author is friends with Akira Segamihttps://anilist.co/staff/97387/. Due to a lack of real publicity photos of Arakawa a great sum of her fanbase has no idea what she really looks like even to this day. There are some scarce pictures of the real Arakawa in the web but they are very low in quality and are rarely used as reference. Many fans have mistaken photos of Romi Parkhttps://anilist.co/staff/95082/RomiPark Edward Elrics seiyuu as photos of Arakawa because of the setup in one particular image in which Romi Park poses as a mangaka. Romi Park is known for representing Arakawa in public appearances in which Arakawa is not able to attend.
