Born in Ibaraki City, Osaka, Japan in 1969 as the second son. From an early age, he loved to look at the art books of European and American painters of the modern era in his father's study. Started sketching Western sports cars when he was 4 or 5 years old. 1987 After graduating from high school, experienced various occupations. 2000, studied visual acting while working part-time. In 2007, a play inspired him to create, and he started drawing pastels in search of a picture that moves him so much that he gets chills, a picture that makes him stop for 15 or 30 minutes. In 2014, he spent a year selling his paintings on the street in Koenji, Kabukicho, and Roppongi in Tokyo. In 2016, he moved to Izu-Shimoda. At first, his goal was to paint the spring, summer, fall, and winter of the Izu sea for 10 years, but now he wants to paint flowers and people, and create sculptures and forms as well.
