I was born in Tokyo and grew up in Niigata. Currently I live in Tokyo.
After working for a production company, I became a freelance designer and illustrator. This is a first time for me to take the challenge as a picture book illustrator. My works include government poster designs, illustrations for business and local government publications, and character designs including Local mascot character (“Yuru-chara”) I specialize in designs of children, women, animals, plants and food. My interests include making sweets, going to karaoke alone and talking over good sake. When I have time, I enjoy thinking about nature, food, sake, music, art, the universe and technology. I always have a passionate heart but maintain a cool head!
