Hirofumi

(Artist & Co-Creator)
A talented and versatile manga/anime artist from Yokohama,
Japan, Hirofumi Sugimoto is currently working on creating
Hanabi, Monkey Square's first manga series.
Hirofumi works closely
with Kodansha, a well-known Japanese publisher, and
his skills are highly valued as he is often called to
enhance various manga artists’ works. His current
works are color pages and front cover for Shinya Kuwabara’s
“R-16” book (part of Weekly Young Magazine
– Kodansha), and computer graphics and color pages
for Satoshi Shiki’s “X Blade” (part of
Monthly Sirius). His past works include concept artwork

Harumi
Ueno (Translator)
Based in Tokyo, Harumi Ueno is instrumental in the Hanabi
project. (By the way, the character Harumi in Hanabi is
not taken after her. ^_^).
Harumi-san is the bridge between the writer and the artist,
ensuring a smooth flow of translated work and communication
in the completion of project milestones. She, like the
rest of the Hanabi team, is a life-long manga enthusiast
and provides great insights during Hanabi project.
