Gintsuki Shikibu is a sci-fi and fantasy author whose work blends myth, action, and heartfelt queer storytelling. Drawing inspiration from his Black and East Asian heritage, he creates worlds centered on diverse heroes, with a particular focus on m/m relationships and characters navigating identity, power, and belonging.
A lifelong fan of epic storytelling in all forms, Gintsuki’s influences include video games like Mass Effect, Japanese tokusatsu series such as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, as well as superhero comics and larger-than-life adventures. His stories combine explosive spectacle with intimate character journeys, celebrating heroes who don’t always get to see themselves at the center of the story.
