Date of Birth: 1994/12/1 Height: 190.5cm Residing in Shiga Prefecture "Psychological Illustrator" An artist skilled in illustration using psychology. Appointed as a public relations ambassador for Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
Born in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, known for its Rokko kiln Shigaraki pottery, I played with clay since I was a child. I started playing baseball in the second grade of elementary school, influenced by my two older brothers. Later, I advanced to high school and university on a sports scholarship, joined the baseball club, and was scouted to join a corporate team in Nagoya, where I played for two and a half years before retiring at 24 and starting my career as a freelance illustrator. I began my creative activities after learning how to draw faces from my eldest brother, who was attending art school at the time (now the fourth generation of our family pottery business).
My interest in psychology awakened one winter when I faced mental distress due to a deteriorating work environment and a breakup. I stumbled upon psychology-related YouTube videos and felt a strong stimulation from the sense of reviewing events that had occurred in my life and the feeling of my life turning around. I have taken it upon myself to gather knowledge through self-study. Based on that knowledge, I am focusing on my YouTube channel, utilizing skills in public speaking, education, and counseling. Using those roots as my weapon, I engage in activities that are not confined to titles.
