1. Tell me about something you liked as a child.
I loved cartoons, games, books, and anything else that was visually stimulating and allowed me to daydream. Among them, Shou Tajima's Mpd-psycho, Kazuhiro Otomo's Akira, Takehiko Inoue's Vegabond, etc. I loved their realistic, detailed, yet delicate drawings.
2. Who is your favorite Artist? (Art, books, games, etc.)
I've always admired illustrators with great drawings. Katsuya Terada, Shou Tajima, Kinu Nishimura, Kim Jung-ki, and Kazuhiro Otomo are some of the people I've been influenced by.Before becoming an artist, I worked as a game concept artist, and some of my favorite games include Devil May Cry, Gohon, and Bioshock.
3. What was your personal motivation to work on art?
I chose art because I think it's the most effective way to express myself.
4. What was the subject of the first painting you did as a student, and is it relevant to your work now?
At that time, I admired and copied paintings that were realistic and well-drawn. Kim Jung-ki, Yusuke Murata, Shou Tajima, etc. I was an adolescent at the time, and I thought this kind of serious and realistic work was the coolest. It's still very relevant today.
5. What is the important part you would like to talk about through art work?
I believe that when opposites meet, the highest beauty is born there, and I work primarily to express that and to show it to the viewing public.
6. When was the first time you realized the beauty that can be revealed through opposites, and what circumstances led you to see it and transform it in your own way?
I'm a cyberpunk artist who draws combinations of machines and humans, most notably in the techniques I use in my work. The beautiful and tender flesh of a girl combined with a cold, detailed, and somewhat grotesque machine, I think this is where opposites meet and beauty is born.

Recently, I met with holders in Osaka, Japan, and received very good energy.
10. Have you ever been hacked while proceeding with NFT ART?
I once had an expensive Clone X hacked. It was the day of the Clone X event.
In my sleep, I stupidly followed a link to a fake account and clicked on a contract.

I think it's about fulfilling more than just the five human needs, but also other needs or emotions.
