[ In Japanese ]


Q1:What kind of child were you when you were small?
A1: I was a confident child and always wanted to get an attention. ...but somehow I became introverted. I always liked drawing.

Q2: What made you decide to pursue the current career?
A2: I am very happy when I am drawing. Though, I don't think I can yet say drawing is my profession.

Q3: What are the characteristics of your drawing?
A3: My characters are Lolita type and are chubby looking. I also use a lot of pale and warm colors such as pink.
I often experiment with the way I draw and color. It is fun to try new things.

Q4: Which part of your image do you put the best thought into?
A4: I try my character's skin to look young and bouncy. I want them to look like a candy...such as yummy and sweet.

Q5: Among all of your works, which one do you like the best?
A5: It is an old illustration, but I love (http://shojodrop.sakura.ne.jp/szk/original/a-drop.jpg).
I think this illustration has the "live" feeling. I really enjoyed drawing this piece.
This piece was the first illustration that I created to show to others.
It is like my first work. It is hard to go beyond that feeling I had when I drew this piece.

Q6: What program and software do you use to create your works?
A6: Photoshop.

Q7: What is the ultimate art for you?
A7: I think an ultimate art is something that makes people happy by looking at it, and that gives a power to them.

Q8: Which part of the image do you start with? (Such as face line, background, etc)
A8: Eyes. I used to draw from the face line, but I found it easy to draw from the eyes since my characters have big eyes and have Lolita characteristics.

Q9: Do you have any creator or artist you admire?
A9: There are some creators I adore. ...but I want to keep it secret.

Q10: Where do you get your inspirations from? (Example: from books, TV, etc)
A10: I draw something that I think adorable, pretty, and cute. Those characters are something impossible to actually own in the real life, so I create them with my own drawing. My inspiration just pops suddenly.

Q11: Do you have a goal in terms of creating works?
A11: I want to be able to love my work more, and also others to love my works more.
It is an infinite wish...therefore, there is no goal.

Q12: What animals do you like?
A12: Cat, Bat and Platypus.

Q13: What is your blood type?
A13: O

Q14: How do you spend your weekends?
A14: I often spend my weekends drawing and sleeping. If I dream something fun, I might draw such an dream.

Q15: Do you have any sites you check everyday?
A15: Doujin creators' sites that I feel Moe.

Q16: What is your hobby other than drawing?
A16: I collect cute underwears. When I draw, I often say "Pantie rocks". I am always saying pantie, pantie.

Q17: Do you have any project you are currently working on?
A17: Not really. Do anyone want to offer me a job...?

Q18: Message to creators outside of Japan
A18: I hope you like my illustrations.

Q19: Would you accept work offer from outside of Japan?
A19: Of course, if it is fun, I am always up for it.
