Rei Hiroe (広江 礼威, Hiroe Rei, born 5 December 1972) is a Japanese manga artist, best known for his manga Black Lagoon. When he is working on doujin comics he goes by the name Red Bear.[1] Hiroe's manga were originally published by Kadokawa Shoten in the 1990s but none were complete. As a response, Hiroe transferred to Shogakukan in the early 2000s, where all of his manga released before Black Lagoon were republished and re-released.
