Keiichi Arawi (1977-) is a professional comic artist and
illustrator. Originally from Gunma, Japan, he was raised in the
city of Maebashi. By the time he was 19 he entered the world of
comics drawing short stories for Media Factory's Comic
Flapper (My Neighbor Seki, 7 Billion Needles).
While his first series KazeMachi was short-lived it caught
the attention of one of the bigger publishers in Japan, Kadokawa
Publishing.
His short Nichijou won Kadokawa's 22nd ACE Award for New
Artists and by November 2006 Nichijou was regularly
serialized in Kadokawa's flagship magazine Shonen Ace.
Nichijou has since then sold more than a million copies and
has seen cartoon and video game adaptations.
It was also selected by Guillermo del Toro as one of the top comics
out of Japan today for Asahi News' SUGOI Japan project.
