We produced a promotional video to commemorate the release of volume 2 of the Weekly Shonen Jump manga Samwan Hertz. The video captures, through visuals, the unique atmosphere shared only by Mimei-kun and Kurage-chan in the story.

Footage from the recording of “Cowboy no Kuchiguse,” the advance single from Sonoko Inoue’s first album, Hokorobi. We kept the production simple so that the song’s appeal would come across directly, while also capturing the warm, relaxed atmosphere of the day.

I create with attention to the art style, the beautiful texture of the materials, and the unique effects made possible by 2D animation. Depending on the style and amount of work involved, I adjust the production flow for each project. I also strive to incorporate collaborative work while preserving the distinctive texture needed to achieve a painterly style.
