The name is Alien.
The Aliens that I draw are neither male nor female.
They are the mixture of femininity and masculinity within me.
They are born with a sense of dismantling stereotypes.
Knowledge comes from assumptions and personal experiences.
Ideas are free and unfettered.
No one can predict the future.
Therefore, in such a condition, one is able to feel the powerful force and the mystery of life that
exists today and tomorrow.
In a world where times are changing rapidly, I have to battle (something???) with my self-
confidence. It is alike a punk spirit that defies the trends of the world.
Such spiritual feelings (that feel like swimming upstream) can only emanate from my heart, it is
a feeling of wholeness, I am not just painting with my head, but with my whole body.
The coexistence between endearing and destructive—the contradiction somewhat contributes to
the healing of the heart that lies beyond.
Simultaneously, the irresistible adorableness makes the sensoria overwhelming.
Most importantly, it is my sincere desire to transcend language barriers and heal people around
the world with my Aliens.

SIMON,
Born in 1997, Tokyo. Currently based in Fukuoka.
Simon is creating a next-generation manga called Alien-chan. (or just Alien)
In addition, he was inspired by Fujiko F. Fujio, who is known as a manga artist for the father of
the Doraemon, and Simon Yotsuya, a leading figure in spherical jointed dolls. At the same time,
he was also stimulated by his childhood admiration for Sanrio and Disney characters, as well as
Japanese pop art from the 1990s, which was/ remixed with contemporary art modes.
The combination of analog and digital media coincides with Simon's passion for dissolving
socio-cultural boundaries concerning ethnic and transgender identities. However, these topics
are still taboo at the table in his home country.
