Hideshi Hino (日野日出志 Hino Hideshi, born April 19,1946) is a manga artist who specializes in horror stories. His comics include Hell Baby, Hino Horrors, and Panorama of Hell. He also wrote and directed two of the Guineapig horror movies which were based on his manga: Flower of Flesh and Blood, which he also starred in, and Mermaid in a Manhole.
Hideshi Hino was born in China by Japanese Immigrant workers in Manchuria just when Japan surrendered at the end of Second Sino-Japanese War and the vengeful Chinese started anti-Japanese movement. His family had no choice but to escape back to Japan before being lynched by Chinese civilians, so his town gathered up everybody and started to make their move to the remaining international governed harbours. Hino stated that he was nearly killed on route to Japan by his fellow towners during the evacuation of China. Some of his manga was based on his life and event, for example his grandfather was a real life Yakuza and his father used to be a pig farmer with a spider tattoo on his back. Hino depicted these into his manga many times (like in Panorama of Hell).
One of Hino's hobbies is taking care of Japanese swords.
