Profile

MAYA joined the beatmania IIDX video designer staff during the production for beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED, when there was a big push to start bringing in new talent to the beatmania IIDX team. Another mostly 2D artist, her coloring style, vaguely reminiscent of watercolor, provides a contrast to GOLI's (usually) cel-shaded works, although she did a few 3D movies. MAYA was during her stay at KONAMI one of the very few women on the graphics design team, but was one of many staffers who played beatmania IIDX; her KONAMI ID was 6233-6531.

MAYA left KONAMI in 2008, though she continued to make videos for beatmania IIDX for a couple of years after, and the occasional jacket in REFLEC BEAT until the series' end.

Trivia

• MAYA drew the album art for OSTER project's album, Recursive Call.
• MAYA is the main character illustrator of REFLEC BEAT 悠久のリフレシア.
• MAYA worked on a web manga titled ヨルの鍵: The Sign of Abyss.
