Born in Tokyo.

Since childhood, he has been fascinated by plastic modelling, object making, painting and skateboarding, and spent his teens and twenties as a professional skateboarder.

Currently active as a painter, horimono-shi (Tattoo artist) and skateboarder, presenting his work mainly in solo and group exhibitions.

He has provided artwork for various domestic and international companies and brands, and has mainly drawn skateboard decks.

The basis of his work is his respect and admiration for Japanese painters active from the Edo to Meiji periods. His life's work is mainly the study and transmission of the spirituality and painting methods of Kawanabe Kyosai.

Born in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Raised in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture. 

Helped his father, a designer, with his work as a student and learnt the basics of art. 

After working for a record company, started 7STARS DESIGN in Harajuku in the 1990s. Provided designs for various brands such as UNDER COVER and APE in the early days. 

Around the same time, he visited M.F.EGAN in LA, where VON DUTCH had his studio in his later years, and opened his eyes to lowbrow art.

He has also designed for global brands such as SUPREME, NIKE SB and FTC. In recent years, he has returned to his roots and spends his time solo studying design and artwork production. 

Born in Yokohama in 1975. Fascinated by skateboarding and painting as a child, he became immersed in street culture. 

Since 1995, he has been active as an AJSA - certified professional skateboarder and in 2000 formed the skate team METROPIA. At the same time, he also developed his own apparel brand and was involved in planning. From this period onwards, he shifted his focus to expressing his trick style in videos and photos, rather than in competitions where he was obsessed with rankings. After retiring as a professional skateboarder, he launched the apparel brand CHALLENGER in 2009 to further expand his field of expression. Currently, he is holding the ‘BANDANA LYZE’ exhibition of original bandana drawings he designed for CHALLENGER in various locations around the world. 

He creates his artwork in parallel with his work as a car mechanic.

Key Person of #weeeels.

His passion for cars is well-known both in Japan and abroad, as evidenced by his appearance in Vol. 2 of TYPE 7, the official lifestyle magazine of PORSCHE.

His work on cars is themed around his upbringing, and one of his most representative series is TOKYO 911 TALES.

The TOKYO 911 TALES series is a series of works set in Tokyo, where Kei Naito himself was born and raised, capturing moments when people, cars and the city come together.

"The city of Tokyo is vast and made up of many people. The cars and people you see in the works were captured in a single moment in time, but there are countless stories there, which are both sad and precious, which was the theme of the works I created. When I walk through the streets of Tokyo, I sometimes feel nostalgic and mysterious. There are always ‘cars’ and ‘people’ passing by on the streets, and there are 911 stories in this series.”

I am FUG (Fujii), an illustrator born in 1998 and living in Fukuoka.

I have been creating illustrations mainly of cars, which I have loved since I was two years old.

I hope you enjoy my style, which changes from time to time!

Born in Gunma, Japan, 2002.

In 2022, he started an Instagram to take up the custom car culture in Japan.

In order to convey the appeal of ‘modification’, the pursuit of one's own desired style without being bound by boundaries, from an artistic point of view, he creates exhibition works with reference to publications and original interview articles.

Through his works, he wants to convey the passion of a culture that has been continuously expanding since the Showa period in the present day.

This time, the exhibition will mainly take place in the Gallery 4N on the recommendation of Car Service, with whom he has a close relationship.
