Born to a French father and a Japanese mother, he was exposed to fashion, fine art, and artwork from an early age. He expressed traditional Japanese writing and paintings with his own unique sensibility and began his artistic career in Paris, France, his home ground. Through his sneaker art, he has also worked on costumes for famous musicians.
In 2018, he was featured in the Seibu Department Store Shibuya's "Sneaker Select 50."
In 2019, he appeared as a performer at the Seine River Street Art Exhibition, “Fluctuart, centre d’art urbain.”
In 2019, he participated in Ground Control (a place in Paris where fashion-savvy people quickly exchange information and ideas on the next trends) as a sneaker art artist.
In 2022, he received an offer to participate as a graphic designer in Tetsuya Komuro's NFT project "FLUcTUS," which is creating waves in art, music, and environmental protection.
As an artist who expresses the art scenes of Japan and France from his own unique perspective, expectations are high for his borderless activities in the future.

comment
Japan's representative anime and manga are very popular among young people here in France. I have been reading "Astro Boy" by Osamu Tezuka since I was little.
Astro Boy was born in 2003 and has been around for 20 years now. I feel that the future depicted in Astro Boy's world has now become reality. Rather than just looking back on the past 20 years that Astro Boy has seen, I want to imagine what it would be like to be Astro Boy and think about how we should use science and technology for the benefit of the global environment and other living things, and how humans should live in the future 20 years from now.
