Hidekaz Himaruya (日丸屋 秀和 Himaruya Hidekaz, born May 8th, 1985, in Fukushima), is the creator of the series Axis Powers Hetalia.
Himaruya started the original webcomic while he was attending college at Parsons School Of Design in New York City, with the storyline still going at the present time. He is currently an art design major and makes posts about his day-to-day life on his site blog, along with the latest character designs and sketches.
Besides Hetalia, his website Kitayume also showcases his other manga projects and artwork. His latest series, Chibi-san Date, currently runs in the magazine Comic Birz by Gentosha Comics (who also published the printed versions of the Hetalia manga).
Himaruya had continued to live in New York up until some point in early 2009, when he moved back to Japan following the release of the Hetalia anime and his deal with Comic Birz.
