history
Born in Okayama Prefecture in 1999. Graduated from Tsuda University with a degree in English Language and Literature.
Currently enrolled in the Illustration course at the Faculty of Communications at Kyoto University of the Arts.
From a young age, he would draw pictures with a pen on the whiteboard hanging on the wall of his house.
I was making up stories in my head, which eventually turned into the backs of homework sheets and mechanical pencils, then drawing paper and pens, then big live painting walls and pens, and here we are today.
The creative world in my head expanded and many stories were born.
I use words, photographs, videos and drawings to express my ideas.
