Kohei Horikoshi (堀越 耕平 Horikoshi Kōhei?), born November 20, 1986, is a Japanese manga artist known for creating the manga series My Hero Academia.
Biography
A mangaka from Aichi Prefecture, Kohei Horikoshi is a graduate of the Nagoya University of Arts. He was a former assistant for Yasuki Tanaka, creator and author of the manga series Hitomi no Catoblepas and Kagijin.
Horikoshi's favorite manga series include Naruto, One Piece, Akira, Tekkonkinkreet and Boys on the Run. In a farewell bid upon the conclusion of the former, Horikoshi referred to it as the greatest shonen manga ever, as Naruto made up his childhood and was one of the primary inspirations behind My Hero Academia. In turn, upon the release of the My Hero Academia anime, Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto congratulated Horikoshi in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump.
