Biographical Information

GOLI is responsible for IIDX's signature DJ characters, such as Celica and Yuz. His most common art style is the anime-like, cel-shaded art style he uses for the DJ characters, but he is a fairly versatile artist. Just for IIDX, he has produced works ranging from the classical Japanese art style evident in Kamikaze to the realistic style of the HAPPY SKY OST cover, reminiscent of an 80s pop idol album. His work has appeared in art books and has garnered highly desirable posters for Konami since his earliest days on the IIDX series. Konami even says that GOLI is responsible for revolutionizing the design style of IIDX.

GOLI joined the IIDX arcade team in the year 1999, for beatmaniaIIDX substream. One of his hobbies is watching movies.

He has appeared once (and only once) in Pop'n Music as an illustrator. He drew Tsurara for the song White Eve in Pop'n Music 9. This girl can be seen in recently released illustration book.
