'''Alien Huang''' (28 November 1983 – 16 September 2020), also known as '''[[Toyol#Kwee Kia (鬼孩/小鬼)|Xiao Gui]]''' (Little Ghost), was a Taiwanese singer, actor, television presenter, illustrator and fashion designer.

He was a member of Japanese [[TV Asahi]]'s disbanded boy band HC3 in 2002 and Taiwanese [[Rock Records]]' disbanded boy band {{ill|Cosmo (丸子)|zh|丸子 (组合)}} in 2003. He went on to release five solo albums and acted in movies and television dramas.

==Early life==
Alien Huang was born in [[Taipei]]. He grew up living with his father, younger sister and paternal grandmother. Although he lived separately from his mother due to his parents' early divorce, they still maintained a close relationship. Ever since primary school, his talent in arts and crafts had been evident as his grades were always within the top three ranks in poster-designing projects. When he was in middle school, his father intended to train him to become a professional golf player.<ref>{{in lang|zh}}  [http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/entertainment/20120413/34156777 小鬼老爹砸400萬教練費 揮桿馴躁動魂（苹果日报·整理报导）] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627005320/http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/entertainment/20120413/34156777 |date=27 June 2012 }} 13 April 2012</ref> However, due to his interest in performing, he decided to apply to HuaGang High School of Performing Arts, where he was accepted after achieving first place out of thousands of applicants.
