Since I was a teenager, I was immersed in various street cultures, especially skateboarding, and was inspired by the many people I met both in Japan and abroad. This led to my career as a photographer. I work for many clients across a wide range of genres, including fashion, music, and advertising and video CM. I am active in both Japan and abroad, and have held a solo exhibition at Hankyu, Tokyo as well as published a photo book. About seven years ago, I met the Street Dreams Magazine team through Steven Irby, and it inspired me to become a catalyst for new cultures that connect Japan and the world.
