Hitoshi Tomizawa (富沢ひとし Tomizawa Hitoshi) is a Japanese manga artist. Alien 9 is his best known work; his manga tend to be short, with sci-fi stories involving children and insects. His art was fairly standard shōnen manga style for his first series, but starting with Alien 9 it became very distinctive, but with very large eyes and unnatural proportions, and has since been recognized as part of the Japanese superflat post-modern art movement.[1]
