NHK Sing and Learn: "When You're in a Bear-y Bad Spot"

2026
Only Image
Created the animation for “Kuma Toki wa,” broadcast on ETV’s Utatte Manabo. I was in charge of character design, direction, and backgrounds. The content teaches three kinds of measures: measures to take if you encounter a bear, measures to avoid coming across one, and measures to prevent bears from entering town. The aim was to convey these measures in a fun, approachable way, so that children can actually reenact them from the video and learn how people and bears can coexist in their respective environments.

YOASOBI "Comet" Official Music Video

2020, 2021
00:03:40
A music video set in the world of the manga BEASTARS. The first 89 seconds also serve as the ending sequence for the second season of the TV anime BEASTARS. The blue-world portion in the first half was colored frame by frame entirely with watercolor paints. By combining this blue segment with the red-world segment that begins in the second half, which is expressed digitally, the video presents two extremes within a single music video, contrasting the tenderness and happiness that have filled the past in the story behind this song with the cruel reality that is to come. For the production of this video, three-dimensional models of each character were created. Using these as references for the drawings made it possible to depict the BEASTARS characters, whose complex shapes are difficult to express through animation, with hand-drawn animation.

Minna no Uta “The Murmurs of Insects”

This is an animated music video for the August–September song "Mushi no Tsubuyaki" on NHK Minna no Uta. It tells the story of a girl who finds herself in the world of insects and meets insects with all kinds of worries. While listening to the song, I felt that our own strengths can also become weaknesses or sources of worry, and I wanted to create a lovely work that gently accompanies the troubled insects, much like asking someone who seems to be struggling, “What’s wrong?” I also paid attention to the colors of each scene and the character designs so that the process of meeting each insect would feel enjoyable and visually charming.

NHK E-tele’s “The Wakey Show” music video for the September 2025 learning song, “The Song of Impressionism.” This song is about a character named “Marigold,” who is well-versed in art, and is themed around “a song that teaches you about the art movement Impressionism.” In the video, the “Motte Pets” dolls, which appear in various roles throughout the program, are dressed up as Impressionist painters, and the piece is edited so that Marigold and the painters seem to be singing together. I was responsible for the direction, character design for the painter costumes, magical CG, and editing, including compositing. Editing environment: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve

Description: The “To Future Scientists” series is a science video series available on the official YouTube channel of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), a public research institution in Japan. Along with promoting NIMS, it is created to broadly convey the fascination and appeal of materials science research. The theme of #18 is “The Shadow of Infrared Light.” Infrared light is an invisible form of light that truly exists all around us, yet we are usually unaware of it. Using a distinctive method, this work reveals the power of infrared light. Though it is a simple experiment, it also symbolizes how changing the way we see the world can lead to new discoveries and ideas.

The “To Future Scientists” series is a science video series published on the official YouTube channel of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), a Japanese public research institute. It was created to promote NIMS and to widely share the fascination and appeal of materials science research. The theme of #17 is the “Curie engine.” Materials such as iron that are attracted to magnets stop being attracted when they reach a specific temperature (the Curie temperature), and become attracted to magnets again as the temperature drops. Using this property, an experimental device was designed to reveal its intriguing behavior through video.

SEVENTEEN (세븐틴) ‘Tiny Light’ Official MV

An animated music video that further expands the world of the ending theme for BEASTARS FINAL SEASON Part 2. While following Legoshi’s life, it also incorporates imagery of SEVENTEEN, and the newly produced footage is longer than the version used in the ending theme. The color palette was chosen to match each scene and concept, using soft tones for female fans and deeper, stronger tones for fans of the original work. Building on our previous animation production in PS, we also incorporated Moho for about half of the process. The hand-drawn, frame-by-frame approach remains the same, but it now gives a stronger sense of paper-doll-like joint connections.

BEASTARS FINAL SEASON Part 2 Non-Credit ED | SEVENTEEN "Tiny Light"

Concept In a world where the species you are born into determines the course of your life, Legoshi and Haru were beings destined to walk separate paths. Even so, they are drawn to each other, reaching out to one another amid the instability of interspecies romance. Though uncertain, Legoshi keeps moving forward, confronting his inner conflict and instincts. And beyond that, with everyone cheering him on, he continues to run straight ahead. Technique This work was created through a wider range of experiments than ever before, combining commercial production methods with independent, handmade approaches such as rough drawings, hand-painted backgrounds, and real paper confetti. While retaining the collage-style animation in which each sheet and every individual part is moved piece by piece, it also continues to explore ways to adapt to a greater variety of works.

PLAY! MUSEUM Animal Exhibition: Advertising and Exhibition Animation

This animation was created for the advertisement and exhibition of “Animal Exhibition” (Special cooperation: National Museum of Nature and Science), held at PLAY! MUSEUM. Featuring taxidermy specimens from the WHO ARE WE exhibition kit for this exhibition (Yoshimoto Collection), it is composed to bring the specimens to life as they make their way to the urban exhibition venue during the night. While continuing to produce animation in PS as before, I increased the proportion of background work done with AE keyframes, taking on the challenge of moving the main characters clearly while also coordinating the background with them. This time, thanks to meeting a collaborator who could handle a certain amount of the animation work, I was able to make time for shooting, and have begun experimenting with incorporating light and shadow in an illustration-like way. In the illustration, I am challenging myself to use color to express the changing time of day.

A story that follows the fate of a bird accidentally eaten by a pet cat. As it retraces the consequences of acting on instinct alone, it moves back and forth between an unknown world and reality. Created using a sequence of images, based mainly on Photoshop’s three basic operations: move, rotate, and warp transform. In this work, which was my first to be made with the help of others, I lowered the barrier to making animation by using only Photoshop’s basic functions, and worked together with people who had never created animation before.

A rapidly shifting urban landscape — waves of people, railway networks, buildings, and city lights generate an immense torrent of information. This work intensifies that “excess” through visual techniques such as slit-scan and delay, making the speed and density of changing information visible. Screened at “Toki-no-ma,” an immersive gallery created through the adaptive reuse of the former Hino Junior High School in Hino Town, Tottori Prefecture. Presented in the first opening program, “A Classroom Where the City and Satoyama Intersect.”

Inspired by Nedu, Hino Town, where the sound of water fills the town. An installation work in which overlapping streams of water envelop the space. At Tokinoma, an immersive gallery in Hino Town, Tottori Prefecture, housed in a repurposed former school, we held the special exhibition “A Classroom Where the City and Satoyama Intersect.” As one of the screening works in the exhibition above, this piece focuses on “satoyama,” and abstractly expresses both its beauty and the issues present in the region.

"Light’s Ancient Strata" Old Rice Warehouse Installation #Hino Town, Tottori Prefecture

2025
00:05:43
This work, presented on August 13, 2025 at the “Neo Lantern Festival” held in Hino Town, Hino District, Tottori Prefecture, simultaneously unfolded a visual presentation and an illumination design that enveloped the entire space. Set in an old warehouse once used for storing rice, it repurposed a dormant space and transformed it into a place that connects local memory with the future. The illumination is not merely decorative; it is an essential element that shapes the rhythm of the space in response to the imagery. Light placed along the walls and beams overlaps with the abstract layers of the video, spreading outward as if embracing the audience’s bodily sense. In a space where the festival’s defining “light” and the installation’s illumination coexist, the traditional light of the festival and the light of contemporary digital art intersected. The theme of the work is “reconstructing the landscape.” It captures fragments of nature and daily life from the Hino District (Hino Town, Kofu Town, and Nichinan Town), then reassembles them into abstract designs. The video evokes memories of the landscape, while the illumination serves to extend those memories throughout the entire space. Viewers can experience the moment when the familiar appearance of the land is transformed by light and imagery, discovering another kind of beauty hidden within the region’s scenery. Underlying the work is a desire to reuse local resources and foster cultural regeneration. By reviving an unused rice warehouse as an art venue, it became an attempt to create new value that honors memories of the past while opening toward the future. The closed-off space of the warehouse was opened up, creating a place where local people could share an experience of being surrounded by light. This installation functions as a mediator that connects land, people, and memory through the unity of video, illumination, and the local community.

"Room Tour" Archive: Random Roomtour Rotation

2025
00:00:11
This is an animated research work that deconstructs the everyday visual experience of a “room tour” through the manipulation of perspective. Its approach lies in continuously transforming the perspective by distorting the structure of the entire room, while leaving all objects within the space—furniture and small items—completely still. By representing space itself with motion graphics, the work induces a visual illusion in which stationary objects appear to acquire autonomous movement, blurring the boundary between 2D graphics and 3D spatial perception, and unsettling the viewer’s sense of “what exactly is moving?” in this experimental approach.

This work takes the Six Realms paintings as its theme, suggesting an exploration of the world in the present day. In the Six Realms paintings, we can move between a fragmented world only through reincarnation, but in today’s society, where virtual reality coexists with us, we can become the protagonist again and again and go anywhere. It was presented as one work in “NEW GAME+ II,” which depicts adventures on the platform of the nation-state, now an obsolete concept.

Burger Satiation

This video is composed entirely of Chinese characters from start to finish. Using the radicals and structure of the Chinese word “漢堡,” which means “hamburger,” it explains the fictional psychological phenomenon known as “漢堡飽和.” This is a phenomenon in which, after staring at “漢堡” for a long time, one suddenly no longer understands what it is. It is said to be caused by neural inhibition, which prevents the brain from focusing on anything more than a part of the hamburger, causing the whole to be lost and its meaning to suddenly feel unfamiliar. This work is one part of the animation anthology Burger Order.

Description: In the previous work, “ONE another,” while Optimus Prime and Megatron were battling inside a robotic vacuum cleaner, at the very same time, the room itself was also thrown into chaos by the runaway vacuum cleanerーーー. A crisis looms over all the Studio Series figures lined up on the shelf! Released in 2025, this film came out in the memorable year marking the 40th anniversary of Transformers’ arrival in Japan. It is an original story that incorporates many elements from 40 years of Transformers history and a wide range of previous visual works. All Studio Series Transformers are lined up on a shelf based on blue, the brand color of Studio Series. It became a rare opportunity for characters from across the history of Transformers movies and animation to gather in one place. We also paid film-level attention to every detail of the music and sound effects. Please take a look at their 40-year history that goes beyond what meets the eye. For the first part, “ONE another,” a story that unfolds on the same timeline as “WE ARE NOT ALONE,” please see here 🔻 https://eizo100.jp/video/90484

Chukyo TV Corporate Movie

2023
00:01:34
This is a co-directed work with Hideyuki Kojima. Based on the world of papercraft, we carefully shot the film in stop motion, moving through a series of scenes: first, Chukyo-kun and motifs from Aichi, Mie, and Gifu are cut out from paper to create a flat world; then Chukyo-kun transforms into a three-dimensional form, creating a more tactile, dimensional world; and finally, the perspective expands further as the paper world bursts into live action. The transition from the paper hand to the live-action hand was actually filmed in reverse order from what appears on screen. We first shot the stop-motion hand, then converted the hand footage into contour data and cut it out from paper, and finally replaced the paper hand and shot it again in stop motion. Lighting was also quite challenging. Because all of the paper used was the same “white,” if we didn’t use subtle changes in light to create shadows and convey depth, shadow color, and distance between objects, it would simply become an all-white world. We carefully crafted the lighting so that, no matter where you paused the video, it would form a beautiful still image. The live-action scenery is the familiar Nagoya Port. That scene was also done in stop motion, and we shot it while praying for clear weather. On the day of filming, it was a violent storm like a typhoon, and just when we thought everything was hopeless, we carried the camera up to the rooftop—and somehow, the sky cleared up all at once. It was a strange and wonderful moment.
