Born Slippy

Born and raised in Japan, and while longing for manga and anime, he spent his middle and high school days in California, USA. He explored his own aesthetics in a lonely time in a foreign country, was influenced by Los Angeles skating culture, and began to pursue free expression. In 2017, he worked on a mural at VLONE POP UP hosted by Younglord (A$AP Bari) held in Los Angeles on the occasion of a collaboration with Paradis 3 led by skater Sean Pablo. After returning to Japan, while continuing to challenge various methods of expression, he vividly drew the “OTAKU HERO” statue reflecting Jun Inagawa's aesthetics, and developed it into many projects and animation works.
