A storyteller and animator exploring the intersection of history, visual narrative, and human complexity. His work draws inspiration from Japan's warrior traditions and the emotional depth of character-driven animation. Through 'Shadow and Light,' he creates animated narrative grounded in historical research, with a focus on Japanese history and character-driven storytelling—examining how the choices he examine in history illuminate the stories we tell today. Each project is driven by a belief that animation can bridge academic understanding with visceral human experience.
