My Journey & Future Goals

​

I began dancing in my second year of junior high school, inspired by the moonwalk, which was popular among students at the time. I soon became fascinated by Michael Jackson’s performances, particularly the extraordinary movements that the human body can create. This fascination led me to pursue animation dance.

​

At the age of 19, I moved to Tokyo to pursue dance professionally while attending a dance school. As a member of a dance team, I competed in national and international competitions, placing 7th at the World Finals in 2018 and 9th in the final showdown in 2019. These experiences helped me develop precise body control and a distinctive style of physical expression.

​

In 2023, I began focusing seriously on social media content creation. Combining my skills as a dancer and creator, I took charge of every stage of production, from concept development and choreography to directing and performing. That same year, I was selected as a YouTube Rising Creator and appeared on Japanese television programs, including TBS’s Love it! and Nippon TV’s Guruguru Ninety-Nine. I also appeared in the music video for BAK’s I’ll Be Back feat. Hiro from MY FIRST STORY (Yoru Akimichi Director’s Version), expanding my work into television and music video productions.

​

In 2024, I obtained a license as a Heaven Artist, a street performer certification program operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. In 2025, I began pursuing my career as a solo artist more actively. I also launched a collaborative project with Madoka Yashiro, forming the performance duo Shingeki no Oyako.

​

My social media content features unusual, seemingly impossible movements created entirely through precise body control, without relying on CGI, AI, speed manipulation, or similar editing techniques. My work has reached audiences around the world, earning me No. 1 in TikTok’s weekly Top Creator rankings in the Talent category, with a highest monthly ranking of No. 2. To date, my content has accumulated over 550,000 followers across social media and more than 600 million total views.

​

In 2026, I performed in a flash mob at the 45th Yokohama Port Opening Festival and appeared in the music video for STAMINA by Korean artist Park Woojin. I also handled the robot dance choreography and direction for the music video, further expanding my work into live events and video productions.

Today, I work across a wide range of fields centered on animation dance and robot dance, including live performances, choreography, dance instruction, acting and movement coaching, movement supervision, and video concept development and production. I bring the unique possibilities of physical expression to projects spanning entertainment, advertising, music videos, and live events.

 

Looking ahead, I aim to keep creating unique and entertaining movements and techniques that audiences have never seen before, bringing them a sense of surprise and delight. I also want to contribute from the earliest stages of developing concepts and shaping ideas for video productions, collaborating with others to create new forms of expression. By combining the technical skills I have developed as a dancer with my creativity as a content creator, I will continue to pursue a wide range of projects in Japan and internationally.
