Date of Birth: 1994/12/1 Height: 190.5cm Resident of Shiga Prefecture "Psychological Illustrator" An artist skilled in illustration using psychology. Appointed as a public relations ambassador for Kōka City, Shiga Prefecture.
Born in Shigaraki Town, Kōka City, Shiga Prefecture, known for Rokko Kilns and 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 and joined the baseball team, eventually being scouted to play for 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 became deeply involved in 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).
Psychology awakened in me one winter at the age of 23 when I faced mental anguish due to a deteriorating work environment and a breakup. I stumbled upon psychology-related YouTube videos, which gave me a strong sense of reviewing the events of my life and feeling that my life was turning around. I began to collect knowledge on my own as a hobby. Based on that knowledge, I focus on my YouTube channel using skills in public speaking, education, and counseling. With those roots as my weapon, I engage in activities that are not confined to titles.
