Go Hirano (平野剛) was a Japanese homoerotic fetish artist. Hirano, along with Go Mishima, Sanshi Funayama, and Tatsuji Okawa, is regarded by artist and historian Gengoroh Tagame as a central figure in the first wave of contemporary gay artists in Japan. [1]
Very little information is known about Hirano, as his works were submitted to his editors anonymously. [2] [3] His illustrations are noted for their realist art style, and often featured masculine men with body hair. [1]
In the 1960s, Hirano was published in Fuzokukitan , a fetish magazine that published gay content alongside straight and lesbian content. [1] His art appeared in Barazoku, the first commercially circulated gay magazine in Japan, from the 1970s through the 1990s. [4]
