Noritoshi Mitsuuchi was born in Osaka, Japan, 1978. Graduated from Kobe Design University, he has been active since 2002. He is a cartoonist with a surreal style that incorporates elements of childlike innocence with his imagery of animals and young children. He is famous for integrating child-like bold brush strokes and vibrant colors into his artwork. Similar to Picasso, instead of utilizing complicated techniques adults would normally employ, he adapted the simplicity of a child’s viewpoint of seeing the world to let his emotions flow freely onto his canvas. He has participated in Japan and overseas exhibitions and art fairs, including the Ueno Royal Museum Grand Prize Exhibition and 2019 Art Fair Asia Fukuoka.
