Hi, I’m Amelicart, a Japan-based illustrator and visiting professor at Kyoto University of the Arts.

I studied illustration in San Francisco for seven years and graduated from Academy of Art University. After working as an in-house illustrator and designer in Tokyo, I became an independent illustrator.

I create character designs, key visuals, and story-driven illustrations for games, entertainment, publishing, advertising, and licensed IP. My work combines approachable characters, clear visual storytelling, and playful world-building.

Since 2023, I have also founded and operated Amelab, a membership-based community for illustrators.
