'''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. He was known as the host of popular Taiwanese variety entertainment show ''[[100% Entertainment]]'', which he left in early 2016.

Huang was the founder and designer of AES (Alien Evolution Studio), a clothing brand which he established in 2008. He also published three illustration books.

==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）] 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. There, he met classmate [[Rainie Yang]], and they dated for three years.<ref>{{in lang|zh}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHhv4X2TA-I 《SS小燕之夜》楊丞琳許瑋甯（談到小鬼黃鴻升部分）] 15 August 2011</ref><ref>{{in lang|zh}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xShmHmTlZC0 《SS小燕之夜》那些年我們在華岡的日子（黃鴻升蝴蝶姐姐王心如）] 9 January 2012</ref> Their relationship ended when Rainie made her debut in the entertainment industry and dropped out of high school.

Huang chose his English name "Alien" because he hoped to be an indefinable and unique character, like aliens are, full of creativity and not confined to normality.<ref>{{in lang|zh}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRxfP0rZ2i8 黃鴻升解釋為何選擇“Alien”作為英文名字] 15 March 2010</ref> He previously also had various other English names, including "Janson"<ref>{{in lang|zh}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEuIsH-sxRQ&t=4m16s 楊丞琳送聖誕禮物並爆出黃鴻升以前的英文名字“Janson”] 25 December 2012</ref> when he was in high school and "Harry"<ref>{{in lang|zh}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfoaoa9LPG4 黃鴻升兒時曾收到聖誕老公公的英文信] 27 December 2005</ref> when he was in primary school.
