Brief History

Hi there! My name is Waki Sagara, and I'm a Tokyo-based illustrator and translator.

Growing up in Fukushima, Japan, surrounded by rice fields and mountains, I developed a love for art at a young age. I used to add eyelashes and lipsticks to the characters in picture books. To this day, I enjoy adding those details to my illustrations and paintings.

In addition to my work as an illustrator, I am also an English translator, specializing in the IT industry. I've worked for American and Japanese companies, where I experienced bridging the gap between different languages and cultures.

From 2019 to 2022, I learned illustration at a weekly vocational school called "Aoyamajuku," where I honed my skills and developed my personal style.

My interest in exploring new worlds and cultures through books, games, and travel led me to pursue a degree in English literature at Keio University in Tokyo.

Thank you for stopping by my profile!
