Hirohiko

Hirohiko is a masculine Japanese given name. It is formed from two elements that can be written with different kanji, giving many possible meanings. The element hiro (wide, expansive, generous) is commonly represented by kanji such as 広, 洋, 浩, 宏, or 博, while hiko is typically written with 彦, meaning "boy" or "son," or sometimes other characters with similar readings. Because of the variety of kanji, the name does not have a single fixed meaning; rather its interpretation depends on the chosen characters. The name has traditional associations and has been used across generations, though it is not among the most common modern names in Japan.

Notable people: The best-known bearer of the name is Hirohiko Araki (born 1960), a Japanese manga artist renowned for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a long-running series first published in 1987 and widely translated. There are other individuals named Hirohiko in Japan, including professionals in fields such as sports, academia, and business, but none have achieved comparable international recognition to Araki.
