Profile

I entered a selective integrated junior high school after passing its entrance examination.During these years, I developed a serious interest in visual art, particularly through the work of Taro Okamoto, and began drawing and making art independently outside the classroom.

As I became more committed to pursuing art, I began formal pencil-drawing practice in preparation for admission to a specialized high-school fine arts program. Rather than continuing internally to the affiliated senior high school, I chose to take an external entrance examination and was admitted to the fine arts program.

I also practiced kendo throughout junior high school.

After developing an interest in visual art during my earlier school years, I entered a specialized high-school fine arts program and received formal training in drawing, oil painting, watercolor, sculpture, and art history.

I was particularly drawn to oil painting and explored both traditional techniques and modern visual expression. During this period, I also developed a strong admiration for the work of Tetsuya Ishida, whose paintings deepened my interest in using figurative art to explore personal experience, social structures, and the relationship between individuals and their surroundings.

Although I later left the program, the technical training and foundation in art history I gained during this period continue to inform my work across digital art, generative media, and moving image.

After leaving the fine arts program, I transferred to a correspondence-based high school and completed my secondary education while working part-time.

This period marked a transition between formal art education and my subsequent entry into the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.

During the same period, I pursued competitive bodybuilding.

After graduating from high school, I served in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force for over three years, primarily as an airborne infantryman with the 1st Airborne Brigade.

My service included airborne and field training, as well as disaster relief operations following Typhoons Faxai and Hagibis and an avian influenza response.

The experience continues to inform my interest in organizations, discipline, social structures, and the relationship between individuals and the roles they are expected to perform.

I worked as a web writer from 2021 to 2023, producing approximately 150 articles for corporate and editorial media.

My work included SEO research, search-intent analysis, article planning, interviewing, writing, editing, fact-checking, and rewriting across topics including regional culture, travel, recruitment, relationships, and lifestyle.

I also contributed on-location features to regional media including Kagawa Tabicho and Re:Takamatsu, and created social media content for Kagawa Prefecture’s official tourism accounts.

I worked as a web director from 2023 to 2024, overseeing content and web operations for recruitment and local-business media.

My work covered client interviews, content planning, editing, production management, quality control, performance analysis, and proposals for improving recruitment pages and user engagement.

I worked in residential renovation sales and facility security during a period of career transition.

After several years in web content and direction, this period preceded my return to formal education and a shift toward digital production and generative technologies.

Currently studying generative AI, web production, Unity, 3DCG, and digital media as part of a two-year digital creator program.

My current practice combines these technologies with my earlier experience in writing, editing, and fine art.

I use generative AI across research, writing, visual development, coding assistance, and experimental moving-image production.
