I originally began my career in sales, but my passion for drawing led me to become a full-time freelance artist in 2019.

Currently, I work as a freelance illustrator and a part-time instructor at a vocational art college, where I teach courses in both traditional illustration and Clip Studio Paint.

In addition to my teaching and client work, I share drawing tutorials on my YouTube channel and manage an online community for illustrators and manga artists. I absolutely adore animals and traveling abroad.

I am an illustrator specializing in content created primarily for a female audience.

As an instructor, my experience includes teaching a course on "How to Draw Men's Kimono." My personal art also deeply explores romance, as I love creating illustrations of couples in traditional Japanese attire (wafuku).

Interestingly, I began my creative career as a novelist, not an illustrator. As an author, the manga adaptation of my award-winning novel, "The White Flower in the Demon King's Garden" (Maou no Niwa no Shiroi Hana), is currently available from Ichijinsha.

Outside of my creative work, my hobbies include visual novels, reading, and solving puzzles. I'm also a mother of one.
