Kenjirou Hata is a manga author from Fukuoka, Japan. He's best known for Hayate the Combat Butler, a series that built him a solid following, though he's reached even wider audiences more recently with Tonikawa: Fly me to the Moon, a romantic comedy that's become genuinely popular.
Early in his career, Hata worked as an assistant under Kouji Kumeta, which clearly shaped his approach to manga creation. Beyond writing, he's a collector of anime merchandise—figurines especially catch his interest.
