Growing up with a painting class at home, I was drawing almost every day from a young age. I had no interest in copying things; instead, I loved creating original characters and stories for my manga. Even when playing, I often built secret bases or invented new games. My tendency for imagination since childhood has proven useful in my work.
After graduating from university, I joined a home appliance manufacturer, where I worked as a product designer and graphic designer for five years before moving to DENSO. Since joining DENSO, I have been involved in advanced development and international projects, including a seven-year stint at the American branch. Using creativity as a common language, I work across countries and fields in a multidisciplinary, multi-role capacity.
