Film Director, Experimental Visualist.
Born in Kyoto, Japan.
I started creating short films in 2002.
Starting with the first W∞ series, "W∞ - Onomichi in Hiroshima -" being selected as a finalist in the experimental section of a film festival in Spain, and all five films in the series until 2009 were selected by film festivals around the world.
I then paused my creative activities to focus on my work as QOOV, which handles corporate projects in video production and graphic design.
In 2019, I awoke to inspiration and resumed my creative process to complete the final story of the W∞ series.
"W∞ - Heritage of Soul -", which was completed with a more artistic visual expression, was highly acclaimed at film festivals around the world and was officially exhibited at over 150 film festivals, winning awards at 40 of them. . (as of August 28, 2023)
