Trying out YouTube Shorts for the first time. Let me know if you like this format for shorter video topics.

When you tried multiple days trying to find your gamer tag and finally find the perfect one:

[elogic]

Name : Toshiyuko Araki
Stand Name : Hirohiko Araki

[victor_.]

Well he's a vampire, he needs to change his name every few decades so that people won't notice.

[Ultragamer]

Hirohiko Araki just rolls off the tongue so well. I can see why he went with that name.

[HotFuss-gdqr]

It's very interesting seeing art made by famous comic/manga artists like Araki when they were very young because it truly shows how much their art evolved.

[SpongeCakeJ]

This is a really great short. Its short enough and gives us all the detail we need from the topic, with the formal charm of your normal videos. Nothing but straight and concise info that we know is fact checked. 10/10

[DQDM]

Hamon Beat’s first YouTube short, we are witnessing history.

[PkmnTrainerEmerald]

Reminds me how Yugioh's creator also used a pen name. Even actors use pen names as I've come to find out in recent years

[maxmanchik]

Damn, still can't believe that Araki is like 60+ years old

[HayatoStarGod]

I was here when Hamon Beat made his first short 👀

[Bolverk]

Seeing his art advance is so amazing and inspiring

[teamcosmeek]

Guess you could say, he was born to be manga artist himself, came out the womb with pen and paper and everything.

[econdightr]

he transitioned from a boy to the GOAT 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[wms]

I was aware of his earlier works being credited to the name Toshiyuki Araki. I used to believe that Hirohiko is his real name, while Toshiyuki is his alias. When I learned about this interesting detail, I realized it was the other way around. 😅

[andypham]

Kinda scary how this many people are searching for every little piece of history and information revolving around Araki😭

[MidnightDominaor]

Woah my mind is blown. I forget that mangaka almost always go by an alias an never their legal name I really thought he was an exception.

[vasserdrachen]

I didn’t know this, and that’s super interesting! Also, a Hamon Beat short was an unexpected but awesome surprise! Thank you for the video.

[abhrobiswas]

This man finally got into shorts, Araki Forgets are completely screwed now.

[Drew]

Wow, I actually had no clue that “Hirohiko” was a pen name of sorts (even though that info is right at the beginning of his Wikipedia page)!
