He originally began in doujinshi, and his first professional work was published in Osamu Tezuka's experimental manga magazine COM in 1967. Hino has depicted these in his manga many times (as in Panorama of Hell).Īlthough originally considering a job in the film industry, the works of manga artists Shigeru Sugiura and Yoshiharu Tsuge inspired the young Hino to express himself in the medium of manga instead. Some of his manga have been based on his life and its events for example, his grandfather was a Yakuza and his father used to be a pig farmer with a spider tattoo on his back. Hino has claimed that he was nearly killed on route to Japan by his fellow townspeople during the evacuation from China. His family escaped to Japan fearing retribution from Chinese civilians, so his town gathered up everybody and started to make their move to the remaining internationally governed harbours. Hideshi Hino was born in Qiqihar to Japanese immigrant workers in Japanese-occupied Northeast China just when Japan surrendered at the end of World War II to the invading Soviet forces.
