Guest: Sutoda Sun

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 ware, 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 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 became deeply involved in creative activities after learning how to draw faces from my eldest son, who was attending art school at the time, when I was in my third year of junior high school (he is now the fourth generation of our family pottery business).

Psychology awakened in me one winter when I was 23, facing mental anguish due to a deteriorating work environment and a breakup, after I happened to watch a psychology-related YouTube video. I felt a strong stimulation from the sense of reviewing events that had occurred in my life and the feeling that my life was turning around, and I began to collect knowledge on my own as a hobby. 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 bound by titles.
