TOKYO STORIES / TOKYO Abundant Descent

Pachiko Yoshida

Born in Fukuoka Prefecture. Graduated from the School of Design, Kyushu University, and its graduate school. After joining an advertising agency, he worked in digital and sales divisions before moving to the creative department. He later participated in the launch of a creative boutique, where he worked on numerous brand communication projects spanning TV commercials, graphics, and web, including planning and art direction. He received the Grand Prix at the Traffic Advertising Grand Prix 2018. He became independent in 2024.

Since his student days, he has been creating digital art, consistently focusing on Japanese mythology as his central creative theme. Based on a unique approach that overlays the structures and symbols of mythology onto contemporary urban spaces, he produces not only moving image works but also paintings that traverse both digital and analog media. In 2025, he received an Excellence Award at the Kinki-Kanto Art Exhibition.

In recent years, he has fully incorporated AI as a production foundation and continues to present non-verbal visual works. His works include the AI film “NEO JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY,” based on the Japanese myth of “Ama-no-Iwato,” as well as “Uncharted Horizons,” through which he explores new forms of visual expression in the digital age. In addition to his own creative practice, he is also engaged in connecting technology and creativity through AI workshops and educational programs.
