Tatsuki Fujimoto was born on October 10, 1992 or 1993,[lower-alpha 1] in Nikaho, Akita Prefecture, Japan.[5] He started drawing at an early age. He had no preparatory schools available near his home, so he went to painting classes in which his grandparents attended and practiced oil painting.[8] He graduated in Western painting from Tohoku University of Art and Design in Yamagata, Yamagata in 2014.[9]

Career

In 2011, Fujimoto drew his first one-shot work, Niwa ni wa Niwa Niwatori ga ita (庭には二羽ニワトリがいた), which was nominated for the December Jump SQ.
