A Life-sized Artist Journey Born from “A Challenge at 35”

His first participation in CREATOR EXPO in 2021 brought numerous job opportunities, becoming the foundation of his current creative journey. Since then, he has continued to expand his expressive range through NFTs, corporate collaborations, and live painting.

TAKUROMAN Live Painting

Live Painting as a Way to Experience “Why Humans Create”

TAKUROMAN’s signature performance is digital live painting — a creative process that itself becomes the art. In an age where AI generates images instantly, his work reasserts the value of human emotions and thoughts in creation. At Tachikawa Twinkle Garden 2025, he reflected the regional essence of Tama through a layered painting process, leaving a deep impact on viewers.

Upcoming Book Project in the Works

TAKUROMAN is preparing for the release of his book:“Those Who Act Without Seeking Approval, Gain Everything” (Working Title).The book shares insights from his journey as an artist who balances work and creativity. It offers an honest take on embracing multiple identities and ways of living, and welcomes inquiries from publishing professionals. The project proposal is now complete.
