ONE (Tomohiro) Background
Tomohiro aka ONE was born in Niigata, Japan, on October 29, 1986. During childhood, he created characters like Taiyo Man (Sun Man) and Tennis Player Ryu. ONE did not follow the orthodox path like any other manga artist as he self-published his manga online, so no one could stop him from writing things that he wanted to write on his own website named FC2.
ONE’s other notable work was Mob Psycho 100, another anime based on a superstrong character who wants everyone to like him. The character designs of both manga are similar. There is not much personal information he has revealed in any interview, which is why no one knows about his personal life or family.
ONE won the Sugoi Japan Award in 2016, which is given to artists who publish manga, Anime, Light Novels, and Entertainment novels. He also won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2017 which is the oldest manga award sponsored by Shogakukan Publishing House since 1955.
