The two women are art school graduates who worked as web designers and art museum receptionists prior to their work in comics. After winning 2nd place in a manga competition, they were advised by the organizer of the contest that their art style didn't fit the Japanese market. They decided to try the American market and have since illustrated many American comics and graphic novels.[4]

The pair have worked on several

In December 2020,
On their portrayal of Loki in the limited series Thor & Loki: Double Trouble (2021), Susana Polo, for Polygon, wrote: "I love love love Gurihiru's rendering of Loki in this second issue of Thor & Loki: Double Trouble. Incredible. Show-stopping. I could barely decide which panel was best".[32] Comic Watch highlighted, "staying true to their style, Gurihiru's art is wholly exaggerated and energetic, deceptively simple, and on the whole incredibly cute. As with the previous Double Trouble title (and Superman Smashes the Klan), the art from Gurihiru is a terrific fit for a book aimed at younger readers. [...] The character designs for both Thor and Loki are delightful, perhaps even upstaging Gurihiru's designs for Spider-Man and Venom in the previous book".[33] Also in 2021, Gurihiru once again partnered with Yang for the short story "The Monkey Prince Hates Superheroes" in the anthology DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration (2021).[34]
In May 2022, it was announced that Gurihiru were the artists, with writer Samuel Sattin, on the upcoming manga Unico: Awakening (Japanese: ユニコ: 目覚めのおはなし) which is a reimagining of "The Cat on the Broomstick" story arc from Osamu Tezuka's Unico. Tezuka Productions launched a Kickstarter that month to fund the project, which was fully funded within one day. The manga will be produced in both English and Japanese.[35][36][37] On September 20, 2023, it was announced that the new Unico manga series would run for a total of 4 volumes with Scholastic Corporation publishing the series from its Graphix imprint label including a handbook. [38] On October 27, 2023, Tezuka Productions announced the series to be given a worldwide release with De Fontein publishing the series in the Netherlands. [39]
