This man was born on May 8, 1985, in Fukushima, Japan. He attended art college in New York, and his experiences there brought about the brainchild that is my favorite anime Axis Powers Hetalia. He is the creator of other works as well, mangas, webcomics, online games, light novels, and short stories. Hetalia Axis Powers has been described as a "cynical gag" story set in Europe in the years between WW1 and WW2 (1918-1939), using exaggerated caricatures of the different nationalities as portrayed by a gaggle of bishōnen. He's now gonna tell us his journey on promoting his masterpiece and how did he created the idea of Hetalia. Please welcome, Hidekaz Himaruya.
