Born and raised in Japan, an actor and a photographer. After I graduated from Osaka University, I moved to New York in order to work as an actor and a photographer. I also taught Japanese Language and Japanese culture to my friends in New York. After I came back to Japan, I have worked in a guesthouse in Kyoto as a receptionist and a concierge, and started photography service for tourists. As a photographer, I also take portraits, scenery photos and stage photos.
