From surfer Yusuke became full time drawer, moved to California, then back to Japan, worked for Vans and other skate/surf brand and finally became a worldwide hit. His last Hong Kong show « Facing The Current » shows “people who are facing ‘currents’ of their own », an idea that emotions does not always have to be positive and that a more depressed and human reality can also be shared through art.

His Nft release « People In The Place They Love » was one of the big successes of 2022.
