From the time he could hold a pen, French/Japanese artist Victor Takeru (born in 1998) dreamed of becoming a cartoonist. However, he soon realized that he lacked the patience required for crafting stories and decided to pursue a career as an artist.
His style is an intriguing fusion of influences, drawing from Japanese (manga) artists like Matsumoto Taiyo, contemporary artists such as David Hockney and Claire Tabouret, and the dynamic world of street art, resulting in a unique bicultural approach.
Sato Gallery welcomes its youngest artist, Victor Takeru, into the family. Born at the end of the 1990s, Victor Takeru's paintings offer a glimpse into the culture of today's twenty-somethings and contemporary Tokyo. Infused with a touch of nostalgia, his art captures the essence of long summer days, moments of boredom, and bursts of excitement.

Takeru Satoh
Japanese actor (born 1989)
Takeru Satoh (佐藤 健, Satō Takeru, born 21 March 1989) is a Japanese actor. He is best known for his leading role as Ryotaro Nogami in the Kamen Rider Den-O franchise, and as Himura Kenshin in the live-action Rurouni Kenshin film and its sequels.
Satoh was born on 21 March 1989 in Iwatsuki-ku, Saitama. Satoh briefly worked as a child actor for three or four years, appearing in commercials and magazine photo shoots. After he entered higher grades in elementary school, he decided not to continue as a child actor due to a "shy personality".[5] He graduated from Koshigaya Kita High School, Saitama in 2007.[6] In the same year, while shooting Kamen Rider Den-O, he was diagnosed with primary pneumothorax after complaining about pain in the left chest, and has since recovered.[7]
Career
2006–2008: Early works
Satoh was scouted by an agent from Amuse, Inc. in Harajuku in Tokyo when he was in senior high school,[8] and made his debut in 2006.[9] His first drama was Pr Takeru Amano (1977) is about 10 years old when he visits an exhibition of Keith Haring in a department store in Tokyo. What he witnesses makes a lasting impression on him. Haring uses the walls of the store to paint on, so instead of using paper, the young Takeru decides to spray-paint some flowers on the walls of the local swimming pool. It marks the beginning of his colourful career. Takeru was born with a pencil in his hand. His whole family was drawing; it was part of their daily life. He therefore didn’t go to art school. What could a school teach him that he didn’t already know? The Takeru Amano we celebrate today, was already there. His world is unique and childlike, inspired by the Japanese culture of the end of the 20th century in which he grew up. Takeru uses classical, philosophical or even mythological subjects and mixes them with neo-pop aesthetics and often a touch of humour.
