She was born in Hokkaidō, Japan. Raised on a dairy farm, Arakawa learned a work ethic that would inspire the idea of "equivalent exchange" in her manga Fullmetal Alchemist. She draws herself as a bespectacled cow in her manga.
Arakawa is best known for creating the Fullmetal Alchemist world and manga. She has no role to play in the making of the anime, other than being mentioned as the original creator of the franchise.
