    Q&A

    How did you get into drawing?

    It was when I knew of illustrators Range Murata and Katsuya Terada and got rid of the wrong impression that illustrations must be done that way or they’re no good. That was the start of my aspiration to become an illustrator.

    What are your particular about in your work?

    From a composition standpoint, the direction, performance, and setting.

    How long does your work take to create?

    20-50 working hours.

    When do you come up with ideas for your work?

    For personal illustrations, when I’m doing ordinary things with no particular relation to my work, when I’m thinking about the motifs and techniques I want to show, when I experiment to practice areas I’m not good at - various times.

    For work illustrations, I arrive at a precise image after looking at the materials on the setting given by the client who is requesting the work.
