His style is constantly evolving, creating works on the theme of coexistence of conflicting things such as past and future, stillness and movement, justice and evil. The largest size of the mural I worked on was 76m x 20m, which was painted at the request of the United Nations in Houston, Texas in 2021. Produced 37 places all over the United States. In addition, the figure of the original character "DR76", which is a modern version of the traditional Japanese samurai, is sold out in a few minutes after its launch.
