Born in Kagawa Prefecture in 1975. Graduated from Yamaguchi College of Arts. Studied under the late sculptor Tanaka Yonekichi from 1995 to 2021. Worked as a staff member at his most recent studio for 26 years, while also traveling to Spain as an artist and working both domestically and internationally. He began his career at the age of 19, but after many setbacks, he has continued to this day. In recent years, he has been leisurely reexamining his creative concepts and lifestyle as he continues his creative endeavors. He is exploring his own style while working in a variety of fields, not only on three-dimensional works but also on performance and music. He does not hold or impose complex concepts, but rather considers the creation of more familiar, easy, and simple objects (art) his life's work.
Currently lives in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Representative of Tanaka Yonekichi Atelier. Manages Tanaka Yonekichi's works and studio. Chairman of Yamaguchi College of Arts Alumni Association Shobi. Yamaguchi Institute of Contemporary Art (affiliated with YICA/director)
