Hitoshi Tomizawa

Hitoshi Tomizawa (富沢ひとし, Tomizawa Hitoshi) is a Japanese manga artist. He is best known for his sci-fi series Alien Nine.

Tomizawa worked as an assistant to Baki the Grappler author Keisuke Itagaki, before publishing his first work as a professional manga artist with the series Uchū Jūbe in the magazine Shōnen Champion.

His manga tend to be short, with sci-fi stories involving children and insects. His art was a fairly standard style for his first series, but starting with Alien 9 it became very distinctive, but with very large eyes and unnatural proportions, and has since been featured in exhibitions including Takashi Murakami's superflat. In a short interview included within Alien 9's English translation tankōbon, he has cited Yoshiyuki Tomino, Mamoru Oshii, Katsuhiro Otomo, and science fiction authors Larry Niven and Robert Heinlein as influences of his.
