Huke

Huke is a Japanese illustrator who is best known for creating the original character, Black★Rock Shooter, and working with the doujin group supercell. His character was the inspiration for Supercell's lead member ryo, who wanted to use huke's design to create a song and music video. Eventually this collaboration led to many opportunities for both parties, as the universe of Black★Rock Shooter eventually became an OVA and spawned many merchandise releases.
