Kouta Hirano
However, "Hellsing" was not the earliest Hirano series to be published in "Young King OURs" monthly. In 1996, the same year "Hellsing"'s precursor, "The Legends of Vampire Hunter", was first released as a single H short story in "Heavenly Pleasure" (a monthly H-centric manga magazine), another World War II-based short story named Hi-And-Low was being published in "Young King OURs" by a then lesser-known Kouta Hirano. The story takes place primarily at a train station in Russia and features two female characters that are strikingly similar to Integra Helsing from "Hellsing" and Yumiko/Yumie in "Crossfire"; and who are, in actuality, undercover Axis spies in-league with one another for a common purpose: the success of Operation Barbarossa. This story saw ink in one issue of "OURs" before being discontinued in favor of "Hellsing" itself.
