Koin

Koin is a Japanese illustrator. Publicly available information about him is limited, and no clear record of his birth and death dates or personal history has been found; what can be confirmed is that he is active in the Japanese publishing world, mainly through illustrations for light novels and animation-related works. His representative works include Haiyore! Nyaruko-san and Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense (also translated as Because I Was Too Afraid of Pain, I Put All My Points into Defense). The simplified Chinese edition of the latter is published by Sichuan Literature and Art Publishing House, with story illustrations by Koin, and its anime adaptation has accumulated hundreds of millions of views on Bilibili. Seven of his works are included in the database, mostly under foreign literature and quality fiction, with themes centered on light novels and game fantasy. His art style fits the atmosphere of these works, giving him high recognition among Chinese readers and anime viewers.
