Shinta Fujimoto is a Japanese manga artist who began his professional career with his own original series. He made his debut in 2010 with Red Raven, which was serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine. The series ran for nine collected volumes between 2012 and 2014, establishing him as a creator in the industry.

Fujimoto gained wider recognition as the illustrator for the manga adaptation of Ryohgo Narita's Baccano! light novel series. This adaptation began publication in 2015, and Fujimoto's involvement was notable for his personal enthusiasm as a longtime fan of the original novels. The significance of this work extended beyond adaptation, as Narita later credited Fujimoto's manga in the afterword of the Baccano! novel 1935-D as directly providing the motivation and inspiration to return to writing the series after an extended hiatus.

The collaboration between Fujimoto and Narita continued with an original manga project. In 2017, Square Enix announced that the pair would launch a new series titled Dead Mount Death Play, with Narita writing the story and Fujimoto providing the art. The series began serialization in the magazine Young Gangan on October 20, 2017. This work blends dark fantasy with urban mystery, following a necromancer from another world whose soul is reincarnated in modern-day Shinjuku. The series represents a significant work in Fujimoto's career, serving as his longest-running ongoing title. The manga was later adapted into a television anime that premiered in 2023, with Fujimoto receiving credit for the original work and original character design.

Fujimoto's artistic identity is informed by his stated appreciation for series such as Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater, which influenced his development of clean lines and clear panel compositions. His professional relationship with writer Ryohgo Narita has been particularly defining, spanning from adaptation work to the collaborative creation of a major original property that achieved anime adaptation.
