Mahito Aobe is a Japanese manga artist and creator whose professional work spans original manga series and manga adaptations of existing properties. Aobe is best known as the illustrator for the manga adaptation of A Tale of the Secret Saint, a fantasy light novel series originally written by Touya.

Another original work is Akuzetsu no Morpho, which ran for three volumes from 2017 to 2019. Aobe also created Shinigami no Lament, a single-volume work published in 2018, preceded by a pilot one-shot chapter in the same year. Additional original titles include Sunao na Hinekurebana, released as a single volume in 2019, and Soshite Akuma wa Seigi wo Kataru, which began serialization in 2023 and remains ongoing.
