Kiriko Uokami is a manga artist born in Niigata in 1972. He made his debut in 1993 when "hole" was published in Monthly Manga Garo (Seirindo). From painful love experiences to the daily lives of young people depicted with a light touch, his works delicately depict vivid human relationships and the movements of the heart with beautiful lines, gaining popularity mainly in the 1990s. He passed away on December 25, 2024 at the age of 52.
