Gari Suehiro, known professionally as Suehirogari, is a Japanese manga artist born on February 8, 1966, in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The artist's pseudonym is written in Japanese as すえひろがり and has been variously romanized in Western publications as Gary Suehiro or Suehiro Gari. The name itself is a Japanese phrase meaning spreading out like an open fan, a reference that has been noted as a double entendre relating to a type of pose frequently featured in the artist's work.

Suehirogari began their career as a member of the doujin circle Wougiya, through which early works such as 8 Miles and what would later become the KAAR series were released. The creator is credited as the story and art artist for the manga My Life As, which was published in 1998. This work was later adapted into an original anime video, or OAV, titled My Life As..., for which Suehirogari served as the original creator. This adaptation was among the first of its kind to be licensed for distribution in the United States by NuTech Digital in 1999.

The artist's body of work spans from the early 1990s through the 2010s. Early published works include Heartache and So Young from 1993 and 1994, respectively, as well as Exhibition, which was published in 1994 and later licensed in English by Eros Comix under the title Sexhibition. A comprehensive list of their major manga works includes KAAR (1997), Circle (1999), TAG (2003), CAGE (2005), CAGE2 (2006), Color of Flowers (2008), Road of Clouds (2009), Ornitho (2011), and Somuniiru (2010-2011). The artist continued to release works in the early 2010s, including Qruel To Be Kind, Satogaeri, Citron, and Stay in our village!.

In terms of artistic identity, Suehirogari is noted for a distinctive visual style that makes heavy use of contrasting tone and monochrome watercolor in black-and-white pages, as well as vivid watercolors for color illustrations. Recurring thematic elements across the artist's bibliography include exhibitionism, public nudity, and consensual and non-consensual BDSM themes, which have been described as a form of author appeal. Another common narrative pattern involves protagonists who come to accept or enjoy their circumstances regardless of the initial nature of the situation that led them there. While the majority of the artist's works focus on female protagonists, the creator has also produced stories with yaoi and yuri elements, and some works feature predominantly female casts.

The artist holds a significant place in the history of adult manga localization in North America. Early translations of Suehirogari's work by Eros Comix, along with the OAV adaptation of My Life As..., were among the first such titles to gain recognition among Western audiences during the initial growth of anime and manga fandom on the internet in the late 1990s.
