He is best known for his realistic illustrations in Kokou no Hito, Innocent, and Innocent Rouge. Since Innocent, his drawing process has been fully digital. He says that switching to digital drawing has opened up a new world for him, enabling him to "fix his drawings as many times as he wants" and to be "thoroughly expressive." **Achievements:** - Shonen Jump 70th Hop Step Award (Keith!!) - Excellence Award at the 14th Japan Media Arts Festival (Kokou no Hito) - Jury Selection at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival (Innocent) - Nominated at 18th Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize (Innocent) - 7th place at Manga Taisho Awards 2015 (Innocent) - Jury Selection at the 21st and 22nd Japan Media Arts Festivals (Innocent Rouge) (Source: Shueisha Manga-Art Heritage)
