Ichiei Ishibumi (石踏 一榮 Ishibumi Ichiei?) (born April 25, 1981) is a Japanese novelist best known for the creation of the High School DxD series.
In 2005, Ishibumi received a special prize in the 17th Fantasia Awards hosted by Fujimi Shobo for the light novel Denpachi that he submitted. He made his debut with that novel when it was published in 2006 as a tankōbon. The same year, he published his second light novel Slash/Dog. Two years later, in 2008, he began publishing the light-novel series, High School DxD with 22 volumes published. The series was adapted into a manga and an anime series. While preparing the light novels, his father died.
To accommodate the growing number of short stories published, a series of light novels, the DX series, that acts as a compilation was created.
