Hi there! I’m excited to share that I’ve been featured once again in Illustration File 2025 (玄光社), one of Japan’s most trusted and respected directories of professional illustrators.
If you’re not familiar with it, Illustration File is widely used by art directors, editors, and creatives across Japan to discover illustrators for editorial, advertising, product, packaging, and surface design projects. Being selected again this year is such an honor, and I’m truly grateful.

About Me
Originally from Shizuoka, Japan—famous for green tea and breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji—I’m now based in the U.S., working with clients across Japan, North America, and other English-speaking countries.
As an illustrator, I focus on creating warm, colorful, and emotionally rich visuals that highlight the beauty of everyday life. I especially love working on:
🍱 Food & Drink Illustration
☕ Lifestyle & Everyday Moments
📰 Editorial & Advertising Illustration
✨ Surface Design & Packaging Art
Whether you're looking to bring heart and story to your brand, publication, or campaign—I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s Work Together!
If you’re an art director or creative searching for illustrations that feel inviting, heartfelt, and full of life, feel free to reach out. I'm fluent in both English and Japanese, and always happy to discuss new projects.
Thanks so much for your support—and to my wonderful clients, thank you for trusting me with your stories✨
