I studied illustration at the art university in Tokyo because I liked art as a child.
I worked as a manager of a hobby shop until 2006. Then, I started customizing dolls and working with movies.
I have customized about 20000 Blythes(and Kenner of 1500 or more was Restoration), possibly the most anyone in the world has ever done.
I’m still learning English, so you may sometimes find my writing a little hard to understand. Everyone, please feel free to write a testimonial for me! →→→→

@nai is not only a wonderful artist but also super nice (I haven't met him in person though^_^). He's the dad of some of the most adorable dolls and cats in the whole world. Wish that one day I could go to Tokyo to visit you & your lab, @nai. Best!

I really adore Mr. @nai's custom work. It is incredibly unusual and unique and he is highly prolific. I also love his photos of such and his English is GREAT (and cute). I wish I could speak Japanese that well. Unfortunately, I only speak it a little. xxxxx.
