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 Kōka City, Shiga Prefecture.
Born in Shigaraki Town, Kōka 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 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. My interest in illustration began in my third year of middle school when my eldest brother, who was attending art school at the time (now the fourth generation of our family pottery business), taught me how to draw faces, leading me to immerse myself in creative activities.
I became interested in psychology during the winter of my 23rd year when I faced mental distress due to a deteriorating work environment and a breakup. A chance encounter with psychology-related YouTube content sparked my awakening, allowing me to review past events in my life and feel a strong sense of life turning around. I began to collect knowledge on my own as a hobby. Based on that knowledge, I focus on my YouTube channel, utilizing skills in public speaking, education, and counseling. With these roots as my weapons, I engage in activities that are not confined to any specific title.
