The Expressive Power of Number-D at the Intersection of Art and Commerce
Number-D encountered graffiti culture in his teens and began his career in his hometown of Tokyo.
Grounded in sensibilities shaped on the street, he now develops cross-genre artworks commissioned by corporations, characters, and global brands. His artistic practice spans more than a decade.
His work has been adopted by numerous prominent domestic and international companies, media outlets, and fashion brands, including Pokémon, Yomiuri Giants, Tokyo Yakult Swallows, Chevrolet, TOYOTA, BMW, SONY, and CASIO (G-SHOCK).
Among these, his collaboration for the opening of Pokémon Center Shibuya is widely recognized as one of his signature works. The nationally distributed collaborative merchandise earned high acclaim both in Japan and abroad, significantly expanding recognition of his name.
Rooted in street culture yet capable of balancing commercial appeal with artistic integrity at a high level, Number-D is an artist who continues to draw growing attention.
