in the author's mind by Jojo's
Hirohiko Araki is a Japanese manga artist who had his biggest work on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Sixty-one-year-old Arari train was born in Sendai, Japan (this city was the setting for part 8 of Jojo) and has already won four very important awards for the manga world.

Jojo's has received several awards including the manga award at the Japan Media Arts Festival.
The author's goal of creating the Joestar family and of putting each member of the generation into parts was to generate mystery. These are characters that the author took care to put that are completely different from each other in personalities, life stories and powers.
With Jojo's Adventure, Araki sought to bring difference in the midst of so many anime productions of heroes that exist. He did this by taking the focus away from the body and towards the clothes worn by the characters.
Her most challenging characters were Jolyne, for being the only woman of the generation shown, and Johnny, who is a paraplegic. With these characters they showed the vague concept that heroes need certain strengths and characteristics.
