b. 1989, Yokohama, Japan
kentaro’s father often photographed the family with a KYOCERA/YASHICA point-and-shoot camera,
introducing him to the world of film photography at an early age.
Today, while capturing moments from personal daily life, kentaro also pursues long-term projects rooted in narrative exploration.
Seeking to remain beside the wounds and memories carried by others, who stand at fissures within the social landscape,
kentaro creates photographic works within that quiet passage of time, as if gently placing a hand on the pain.
Received the 36th Higashikawa Awards for Special Photographer of the Year (Japan) in 2020.
Author of A RED HAT (AKAAKA, 2020).
