I've loved drawing since I was a child, especially drawing people. However, I grew up in an era when it was commonly believed that you couldn't make a living through art, and I also believed that myself. As a child, my dream was to teach Japanese culture to people overseas, so I went on to university with the aim of becoming a Japanese language teacher.

As I gained various work experiences and life perspectives, I struggled with my path, but eventually I came to realize that the happiest life is one where I can contribute to society by doing what I truly love. It took me until this age, but I was finally able to be honest with myself.

The vocational school program I attended in Sweden was incredibly valuable and fulfilling — two very fruitful years. Being from Japan and living in Sweden, along with the knowledge and life experience I've accumulated over the years, has become a unique strength that supports me in this journey.

From now on, I hope to enjoy each day as I build my career as a game artist, creating games that move the hearts of players. One of my goals is to someday become a bridge between Japanese and Swedish game creators.
