K-Hito was the pseudonym of Ricardo García López (1890–1984), Spanish humorist, caricaturist, bullfighting critic, film producer, and magazine publisher.

Considered part of the Generation of '27, he was the founder and director of four magazines, in the pages of which he created several characters, such as Gutiérrez, Macaco, Currinche, and Don Turulato.

[2] In 1907, he moved to Valencia, where he began to collaborate in humor magazines and offered the first exposition of his work in 1912 in the Círculo de Bellas Artes.

[5] Collaborating with him at Dígame and Gutiérrez were Enrique Jardiel Poncela, Edgar Neville, Miguel Mihura, José López Rubio and Tono [es] (Antonio Lara de Gavilán).

[5] He is credited with reconciling two bitter enemies, the bullfighters Manolete and Carlos Arruza, who at K-Hito's instigation, hugged one another in the cartoonist's natal town of Villanueva del Arzobispo.
