Araki left the Miyagi University of Education before graduating and made his debut under the name Toshiyuki Araki (荒木 利之, Araki Toshiyuki) in 1980 with the wild west one-shot Poker Under Arms, which was a “Selected Work” at that year’s Tezuka Award.

His first serialization was Cool Shock B.T. in 1983, about a young magician who solves mysteries. But the first series to display his signature amount of gore was 1984’s Baoh.

It tells the story of a man who is implanted with a parasite by an evil organization, giving him superhuman powers, and follows as he fights against them.

It was adapted into an OVA in 1989, the manga was released in the US by Viz Media in 1990 (in tankōbon form in 1995), but the OVA didn’t get a stateside release until 2002.

It wasn’t until The Gorgeous Irene in 1985, that he really developed his signature art style of buff, muscular characters (it would later become more flamboyant).
