Harikamo
Description
Harikamo is a Japanese manga artist and illustrator known for creating the four-panel manga series Urara Meirocho. She was born on March 29 in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. The year of her birth is not publicly documented. Her blood type is O. The pen name Harikamo is constructed from two parts: Hari, which is derived from her real name, and kamo, which comes from the Japanese word kamoshirenai, meaning maybe, as she chose it casually.
After graduating from the vocational school Anabuki Design College, Harikamo began working as a part-time lecturer at the same institution. She made her professional manga debut in the inaugural issue of Manga Time Kirara Miracle!, published by Houbunsha. From the first volume until the January 2014 issue, she serialized her first work, Sorani of the Night Forest.
In June 2014, she launched her most recognized work, Urara Meirocho, in the pages of Manga Time Kirara Miracle!. The series follows a young girl named Chiya who comes to the labyrinth town of Meirocho to train as a fortune teller known as an urara. Urara Meirocho was adapted into a television anime, which aired in the winter season of 2017. When Manga Time Kirara Miracle! ceased publication later that year, the manga transferred to the flagship magazine Manga Time Kirara. The series continued there from the February 2018 issue until its conclusion in the July 2019 issue.
Beyond her own serialized works, Harikamo has contributed illustration work for other media. She provided the illustrations for the light novel Naisho de Idol♪ Haruka, Otoko no Ko ni!? Shogeki Debut no Maki, published under the Kadokawa Tsubasa Bunko imprint. She has also contributed guest illustrations for several television anime productions. These include a background illustration for the first episode of The Knight in the Area, an ending illustration for the TOKYO MX rebroadcast of the twelfth episode of Is the Order a Rabbit?, and an ending illustration for the first episode of Sansha Sanyo. As an artist working in the four-panel comic format for the Manga Time Kirara brand, her work is recognized as part of the genre focusing on cute girls in everyday or fantastical settings.
