What is TAKUROMAN?

Realizing a longtime dream to become a manga artist, at the age of 35 I enrolled at a comic art school. I had the great fortune to be directly instructed by Ms. Masae Takakuwa, the author of Human Body Croquis, an art instruction manual that deeply impressed me at the time.

Based on the premise that "art happens", I draw inspiration from shapes that appear while I'm drawing, and these inform the theme of each of my works. I've named this method the Self-Drawing Feedback Concept Method.

Live painted at gespo☆party 2022, the large e-sport event / Live painted at the stage with famous music artists at ART LIVE 2021 and 3 live painted works sold out at NFT auction / Solo Exhibition "Be Proud of the Crowd" / Participating artist in 36FUJI NFT art Project / SBINFT nanakusa certified artist
