YAkuza

If there were to be a class photo of Asian American YA and MG authors, it would likely include these people. The Asian YA Mafia, YAkuza, ninj(y)as, whatever you call it. That's a silent "y" for that last one.

And a Pinterest board of Asian males on MG/YA covers.

Note: This list is haphazardly assembled and chooses people based on ethnicity and the crassest of all baselines: how they look. If I'm mistaken or missing someone, do tell. If you feel like you want to be an honorary member and you're above average at math, welcome.

Many thanks to Eunice from Ciel Rouge for recommendations, and go look at her POC author posts!
