Artist and filmmaker born in Saitama Prefecture in 1984.
He conducts fieldwork in conflict zones and areas divided by social problems, and creates art films that combine documentary and fiction. He has visited countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, collaborating with local artists. Using techniques such as mockumentary, subliminal effects, and Morse code, he practices methods of expression that escape repression and censorship. Collaborating with people involved in social issues and scientists at research institutions, he explores loopholes in contemporary society from a humorous perspective.

Past exhibitions include the The Northern Alps Art Festival, Jakarta Biennale, and Oku-Noto Triennale. Film festivals include the 56th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Germany, and the 16th Jogja NETPAC Asian FIlm Festival JAFF, Indonesia.
He stayed in Thailand for one year under the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ Overseas Study Program for Emerging Artists in 2017 and in Indonesia for two years under the Pola Art Foundation’s Overseas Study Program for Emerging Artists in 2019.
He is currently based in Japan and Indonesia.
