About me

Art director and published manga author with 20+ years bridging European and Japanese creative industries. After graduating from Supinfocom/MOPA (France's top 3D animation school), I moved to Tokyo where I led the 2D/3D department at Ishigaki Production working on major franchises including Detective Conan , Lupin III, and Gintama.
I pioneered remote EU-Japan collaboration workflows starting in 2012 and currently collaborate with SHAFT studio on Netflix's Fool Night series. I've also published graphic novels with Delcourt, including Les Sanctuaires (2025) and Le Cycle d'Inari (2016). In , I provided character design supervision for Disney+/Marvel's What If series (Blue spirit).
My core expertise is forecasting how manga and anime markets will evolve, predicting AI disruption in creation pipelines, identifying emerging audience segments and content opportunities in Europe, and mapping cross-cultural adaptation strategies.
I advise animation studios on AI-enhanced production workflows evolution, cultural bridge expertise for Japan-Europe productions, and next-generation content development.

For investors and platforms, I provide strategic foresight on market transformations, format innovations, and distribution evolution. My unique value comes from combining authentic creator experience (published manga author), deep production expertise (20 years across both markets), and cross-cultural understanding that's impossible to replicate.
I specialize in turning industry insights into actionable strategies for studios navigating the European market and investors evaluating manga/anime opportunities.
