[edit] Pictures

Has anybody been able to see a photo of Hiromu Arakawa online anytime? If you do, give me the name of the source. Besides that, can somebody please upload a picture of her, you know the way she depicts herself as a cow? Thanks. --CagedInsomniak 22:48, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Ohhh, I get it, she draws herself as a cow-like figure because she worked at a dairy farm! Ahhh.

This photo from the 49th Shogakukan Manga Awards (definitely what the banner in the background says) is reportedly Arakawa (at center) with the other four award winners from 2004 (Takatoshi Yamada, Hiromu Shinozuka, Aya Nakahara, and Takashi Hashiguchi). http://web.archive.org/web/20041027034313/http://yoh.huming.com/poo/poo/picdata/Upload_20048413231.JPG --Asterphage 08:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Is she the girl in the black suit? Is anyone going to magnify the image and put it in the website? Although doesn't Miss Hiromu Arakawa want to have her privacy, thats why hasn't had her picture taken very much? Maybe its best to leave the cow image on the page after all.

  • The Shogakukan Manga Awards pic is available at mobuta.com/arakawa , but you may be right about not using a real photo. Arakawa-sensei is known to be camera shy, so it might be better just to leave it as is.

[edit] Info

"She has no role to play in the making of the anime, other than being mentioned as the original creator of the franchise." -did she not talk about giving ideas to the anime team at the back of vol.8? This should be changed. Also, someone should mention about her work with disable individuals before she became a mangaka, which had inspired Fullmetal Alchemist. --itakoaya

How do you know this (the part about disabled indiv. work)?--Chickentoo 01:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sources

Where did the information on this page come from? Anybody know? -rotary


[edit] Quote

Should the B-movie quote in the lead really be formatted that way? Rather non-standard, and it clashes displeasingly with the picture's box in my Firefox. --maru (talk) contribs 03:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I must know more!

I'm pretty much obsessed with Fullmetal Alchemist (it comes right after Metroid and Star Wars on my obsession list). As one could immagine, I'd like to know more information about its creator. There must be more information than this. Does anyone know more, and if not, where can some more information be found? --Gaming King 06:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

This is all we've got right now. If you ever do find more, feel free to add it in. --maru (talk) contribs 17:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Darn. I was afraid of that. Well, I'll keep an eye out for more info. --Gaming King 03:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I also really want to know more, but more along the lines of her career and actions leading up to her success. I'm very interested. --Wulfclawe 05:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


Well I looked at the Japanese-wiki page for her, and judging from a babelfish translation, there seems to be more information on it. It's here: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8D%92%E5%B7%9D%E5%BC%98 could someone who reads Japanese check it out?--Chickentoo 01:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversies?

I'm not the most up to date person in the world, but there has been a lot of gossip about Hiromu Arakawa being a man who is transsexual. I'm not sure if that is totally correct (and I will check the source) but I just wanted to ask if that was appropriate to add into Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chronicles1289 (talk • contribs)

Goodness, a male transsexual? Don't post that without any citations, else the fans will be... upset, I think it is safe to say. --maru (talk) contribs 03:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Transexual? Bull****. --Gaming King 13:48, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree with his royal highness. - Nepharski 11:05 PM, 28 May 2006
but I've heard that this is what he japanese wikipedia article on her says--could someone who reads japanese check it?--Chickentoo 20:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
It does not say anything of the sort. It does mention that her real name is Hiromi (弘美), however. CES 22:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Then what I'm guessing is that Hiromu is a more masculine pen name, thus prompting confusion. Nepharski 4:27 AM March 17 2007

[edit] we should make this list..

1 = we have to contact japanese user that edit anime articles here in the english idiom wikipedia

2 = we have to ask them to translate us the japanese article with the most important data. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Envidia (talk • contribs) 03:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] sloth and wrath from the anime

hiromu arakawa .. iwonder.. what does she think about wrath and sloth from the anime if someone has the answer please reply to me User:Envidia

To the best of my knowledge, she's never been more specific than she is in This interview: Her impression of the result? She found the homunculi's stories especially compelling: "As I watched the show, I found it very interesting to speculate about what kind of final showdown each of the homunculi would have with the people who spawned them."
