-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was born 1995 in Sapporo, Japan. I graduated from the Department of Visual Communication Design, Faculty of Art and Design of Musashino Art University. I spent two years at the Editorial Department of Weekly Pro-Wrestling Magazine. I have created many works related to pro-wrestling. I’m trying to depict pro-wrestling watching from each perspective around the ring through Cubism; [the subject is depicted] a multitude of view points to represent the subject in a greater context in one picture. In January 2021, I won the Kenta Nakajima Award and the Liquitex Company Award in the "ARTIST NEW GATE" art show race in Japan.
I am currently studying English in Orlando, US, while working on new pieces for my series about wrestling.
