こんにちは！

Growing up in Tokyo, Japan, I had a hard time finding my place. I was the kid obsessed with Earth, Wind & Fire, Bobby Brown, and Michael Jackson, even without understanding the lyrics. My dream was to talk to my favorite role models, Tom Cruise and Cristiano Ronaldo, without needing an interpreter. Of course, I couldn't find my place at an early age.

At 20, all my childhood inspirations drove me to move to the U.S. by myself to find a place where I could fit in. I had a fierce love for American culture, but no ability to speak English. So, I taught myself! After 744 hours of one-on-one conversations with my friend, I can now express myself and speak with confidence. That’s how I discovered my passion: the joy of communication. I realized that speaking other languages and understanding different cultures allows me to reach places and understand perspectives that many cannot.

Now, my dream is to utilize my curiosity and broad perspective to create work that people like me, driven by their passions and curiosity, can enjoy regardless of where they're from in the world.

Outside of advertising, I enjoy listening to a wide range of music genres, mostly from the 80’s to early 00’s, and analyzing professional football, soccer, and basketball teams. In these areas, I consider myself a true nerd, knowing almost everything.
