Revision as of 01:32, 14 February 2014

Bisco Hatori is a Japanese manga artist. She is best known for her manga series Ouran High School Host Club, which was turned into a 26-episode anime series, a live-action drama series and separate film, as well as several video games for differing game platforms.  The manga runs 83 chapters plus several special follow-up omake.

Biography

Her pseudonym is Bisco Hatori and she is known around the world as the creator of Ouran High School Host Club.  Her work has been featured in the magazine LaLa, among other forms of media.  Her reclusiveness is such that no official photo of her has ever been seen, except for her frequent line drawings throughout the manga.  It has been speculated (though never proven) that Bisco Hatori is not a single person, but a duo or group of artists (ala CLAMP) who came together to create the world of Ouran and that the name "Bisco" is an acronym for the names of said artist-group.

The elusive and camera-shy Bisco Hatori.

Her manga debut was A Moment of Romance in LaLa DX.  Her first series was

Millennium Snow which was put on hiatus when her manga comedy, Ouran High School Host Club, became a breakout hit, garnering a place in the 50 top-selling manga in Japan for both 2008 and 2009. Hatori's work is influenced by classic manga such as Please Save My Earth, a shōjo science fiction series; and the basketball manga Slam Dunk.  The anime version of Ouran High School Host Club was one season in length (26 episodes) during 2006, but the manga continued until its conclusion in 2010.

In January 2012, Hatori wrote a science-fiction comedy one-shot manga titled Detarame Mōsōryoku Opera,  which was published in LaLa. The second chapter was published in May 2012.  She has recently re-vitalized Millennium Snow and published a new chapter for her previously "on hiatus" series in January 2013.
