Paru is best known for her manga work, though her creative journey started way earlier than that. She's been drawing since second grade and was already painting in kindergarten—basically a lifelong artist. She studied filmmaking at Musashino Art University, which probably shaped how she approaches storytelling in her manga.
Her dad is manga artist Keisuke Itagaki, so the creative genes run deep in the family. As for influences, she's cited Disney movies alongside artists like Nicolas de Crécy and Egon Schiele—a pretty eclectic mix that reflects her distinctive visual style.
She announced her marriage on September 24, 2023.
