Yuhki Kamatani

Yuhki Kamatani (鎌谷 悠希 Kamatani Yuhki, born June 22, 1983) is a Japanese manga author and illustrator from Hiroshima, Japan. They are best known for their debut manga Nabari no Ou (隠の王 Nabari no Ō), which was published in Square Enix's Monthly GFantasy magazine from 2004 through 2010, and was adapted into a two-season anime in 2008 and 2009.

In 2012, Kamatani came out as X-gender and asexual "sexual minority" on twitterundefined, and has since included "/toX" on their twitter profile. Many of their works, most notably Shimanami Tasogare, Kamatani's most recent work which follows the story of an LGBTQ community in Onomichi, address LBGTQA themes and issues.

Kamatani's Nabari no Ou was a finalist under the Story Manga division in the ninth Japan Media Arts Festival in 2005, and was ultimately recommended by the Committee. In 2013, their manga Shounen Note: Days of Evanescence was a Jury Selection for the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival.
