Miho Kinomura

Based in Los Angeles, he is an AI filmmaker and creative director. A former fashion designer, he built his career as a commercial film director at the U.S. advertising production company STUDIO D.O.G. In 2021, he made a full transition into AI and Web 3.0 fields. In the specialized area of “AI × FASHION,” he has established a unique practice that integrates AI-driven costume design through to film direction in a single workflow.

Currently based in the United States, he leverages a broad international network to operate as a leading figure in the global AI community, building next-generation visual standards primarily for cosmetics and fashion brands.

Since 2023, he has appeared in media as his digital avatar “MIOMIO.” This embodiment of cutting-edge technology has attracted significant attention, expanding his practice beyond that of a traditional creator into a multi-layered form of expression.

As the founder of NFFT (New Future AI Fashion Technology), a pioneering AI fashion technology project, he has organized AI film exhibitions in cities including Tokyo and Cannes. He leads a global collective of AI creators curated from diverse perspectives, and in February 2026 will host the 11th installment of his AI film exhibition at BCBC Gallery in Harajuku, Tokyo. He continues to actively drive the global intersection of AI × FASHION × MOVIE.

In autumn 2025, in collaboration with Japanese fashion brand TEECHI, he launched Japan’s first AI fashion design project, moving beyond concept into actual commercial product development.

He also serves as a Creative Partner for Runway, one of the world’s leading video-generation AI platforms. His work has received international recognition, including Best Visual & Special Effects at the UK Fashion Film Festival in 2025 for his AI fashion film Nature X. In 2023, his representative work PARCO Happy Holidays received the AMD Award for Excellence. He continues to explore AI as a “creative partner,” expanding the frontier where design and technology intersect.
