Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1970. Due to his father's job transfer, he spent his childhood in Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Yokohama. As a child, his art-loving mother took him to various exhibitions of modern artists. He was also interested in the personalities of historical figures, including artists who left behind masterpieces, and loved to read biographies and literary books. In 1988, he entered the Department of Oil Painting at Musashino Art University. He considered "theme" rather than "technique" as the main axis of his work, and while reading books on philosophy, psychology, and other humanities in the university library, he also showed an interest in graphic design for advertising, which was considered the flower of the industry at the time. After graduating from university, he worked as a graphic designer at an advertising production company. In the course of his daily work, he mastered MAC and graphic software operation techniques. In 2000, he became a freelancer and started writing a blog in addition to graphic design. 2005, he started creating digital art. In addition to a solo exhibition in Ginza, he has participated in group exhibitions at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and the National Art Center, Tokyo, as well as international art fairs and special exhibitions in the US, UK, Italy, France, New Zealand, Singapore, and Austria. Traveled alone to Miami at the end of 2019, inspired by the vivid and dynamic street art of the Wynwood Art District; in 2020, studied psychology to gain a deeper understanding of humanity. Currently, she continues to work on the theme of "emotional moving moments".
