Kafka Asagiri

is a Japanese manga artist and novelist. Born in Ehime Prefecture, Asagiri had been thinking about becoming a scenario writer since his second or third year of work, but the company was so busy that he couldn't write stories while working. He quit the car company at the beginning of 2012.

After that, while preparing for job hunting related to screenplays, Asagiri decided to create something that people could watch for free. He started posting videos saying "I wanted to," along with creating videos serving as business cards, believing in the importance of work experience for becoming a professional. Yukkuri Youmu and the Really Scary Cthulhu Myth was later made into a manga called Minase Youmu and the Really Scary Cthulhu Myth, with Asagiri in charge of the original work.

For Bungo Stray Dogs, Asagiri was inspired by Shūsaku Endō's story Ryūgaku as well as Osamu Dazai's last novel No Longer Human. Asagiri decided to make his own take on Osamu Dazai stand out among the readers. Kadokawa Shoten approached Asagiri with writing more content for the characters, which led to the production of light novels where the writer decided to explore Dazai's past.

Hobbies Many works have influenced Asagiri, including JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He also enjoyed reading YuYu Hakusho and Black Lagoon. Asagiri also enjoys international film and TV series, particularly The Avengers and The Dark Knight. When asked what exactly he likes about Western media, he bluntly answered that its accessibility makes it so attractive; American media is widely available through different platforms in Japan.
