Film Director / Cinematographer

I am a Tokyo-based film director and cinematographer working across the boundaries of art, fiction, and documentary. To me, filmmaking is not merely a process of recording; it is an act of "rebirth." Through my lens, aged machinery finds a powerful voice, and individuals emerge with newfound confidence. I believe in the power of cinema to transform our perception of reality and the future.

While at Waseda University, I organized experimental events merging bands, VJs, and DJs. Starting my career as a VJ and guitarist, I developed a unique sensitivity to rhythm and light. After graduating, I transitioned into film production and founded the creative unit "AIRJOB," where I directed TV programs and advertisements featuring extreme sports, building the foundation for my dynamic visual style.
In 2007, I opened "factory LO," a café-bar that was a pioneer in adopting projection mapping, to explore new possibilities in spatial design. Managing this business allowed me to navigate the complexities of balancing creativity with management, sharpening my multifaceted perspective.
In 2013, I established FULVIS K.K., a creative studio. Since then, I have explored the potential of visual expression across a wide field—from brand storytelling and spatial design to advertising for global brands such as Sony, Toyota, and NEC.

Moving freely between the worlds of advertising and cinema, I continue to create works that redefine the value of my subjects and alter the very way we perceive reality.
