When I saw cosplayers for the first time, 13 years ago, I found them novel as well as somewhat pensive.
Whilst they looked mischievous, they retained a sense of darkness within the underground culture. They were unique and charming. They longed to be somebody else other than themselves. In them, I found the adolescent myself. I was always earnest in my endeavors to do something; although I was an unstable, immature, and clumsy boy. I was full of energy, I could not cope with being deeply absorbed in doing various things. I was obsessed with the idea of ruining and transforming myself. My work "cosplay" is a reconstruction and visualization of my inner world employing "cosplay" as a method, focusing on my adolescent years during the 1970's. I hope my work reflects a venturesome sprit and exquisite sense, acquired in my youth.
