I have worked as a manga artist for over 20 years, and later spent 9 years teaching manga at the Kyoto University of the Arts. I also served as a jury of the "Japan Media Arts Festival" organized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in Japan from 2017 to 2020. Currently a lecturer at a "L’ecole Japonaise de Manga" in France.
I made my debut at Kodansha, Japan's second-largest publisher known for famous manga titles like "Attack on Titan", "Tokyo Revengers" and "Sailor Moon". I then drew weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly series for that company and others.
I have taught more than 400 students face-to-face at that University, some of whom have already become professional Manga Artists. I have published 18 manga books in Japan, and also in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea, and also serialized on the web for 10 years.
