People like Yuhki Kamatani

Yuhki Kamatani (鎌谷 悠希, Kamatani Yūki, born June 22, 1983) is a Japanese manga artist and illustrator, best known for their series Nabari no Ou (隠の王, Nabari no Ō, lit. Ruler of Nabari), published by Square Enix.

In 2012, Kamatani came out on Twitter as asexual and X-gender. In their Twitter profile, Kamatani notes their gender as "toX"—following the tradition of transgender individuals identifying as FTM or MTF—which conceals the gender they were assigned at birth.

In a 2018 interview, Kamatani described the pain they faced in their teenage years due to their own identity struggles. These experiences are somewhat reflected in their work Our Dreams at Dusk, which according to Rachel Thorn marks "probably the first time that I can think of where an actual trans person is talking about [trans experiences] or portraying [them]" outside of the essay manga format.
