Born in Los Angeles in 1997.
He grew up in Hyogo.
Completed the master's course at the Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School of Design.
Influenced by the mass, consumerist American pop culture of the toys and comics he played with as a child, he attempts to bring to light hidden social issues from a witty perspective by coexisting the seemingly opposing sensibilities of function and decoration.

For his graduation exhibition in 2022, he will create "CRAB CRUSHER," a crab-peeling gun that revels in the abundance of waste.
In 2022, he entered the 7th Laboratory of the Graduate School of Design at Tokyo University of the Arts.
At the 2025 Tokyo University of the Arts Graduation Exhibition, he presented "THE RICE SAVIOR," a gadget that revives rice balls by placing gods in the rice grains stuck to the rice bowl. He focused on Japanese forms seen from an overseas perspective and researched the possibilities of new design.
