Born in 1986 in Japan.
Graduated from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts as B.A. Graphic Design concentration. After Aiko graduated from the college, she came back to Tokyo and started working as an in-house Graphic Designer in the luxury fashion industry. Since “Tokyo salary (wo)man” life was very hectic, Aiko needed some comfort in her daily life. So she became a weekend drawer just for fun. Drawing for her is ZEN. Spending times with drawing was always peaceful, and made her happy. As Aiko has dedicated herself to drawing with the times, she has decided to leave the company and pursue her career as fashion illustrator in 2014. Aiko loves fashion, music, art and nature, all of her works relate to her interest, her moods, and living experiences outside of Japan. Her curiosity never stops, she has been exploring digital art using iPad Pro, and paper-based popup illustrations besides pen drawings lately. Currently Aiko has a recurring monthly illustration a column "Otoko no Iroke (Bald is Awesome)" at BRUTUS magazine since 2015.
