My Take
Honestly, I did a double-take reading this guy's resume: painter, researcher, YouTuber, and business owner, all stacked onto one person who's barely out of his early twenties. Shotaro Sanada grew up in Nishinomiya in Hyogo, went through the famously brisk Koyo Gakuin, then landed at Tokyo University of the Arts, which tells me he committed to the artist's path with both feet and zero hedging. Making a living off art alone is brutal, yet he's also researching, broadcasting, and running his own thing, and I love that "let me poke at everything" curiosity. He strikes me as the type whose head never stops spinning out ideas, and I'm quietly rooting to see what he paints and builds next.
