zakamoto – Zakamoto

Akira Zakamoto was born in Tokyo, June 6th, 1974. His mother Rumiko Toho, film producer, and his father Toshiro Zakamoto, actor,initiated the little Akira to the world of art since his very young age. During the summer of 1982 Azkira Zakamoto disappeared and for an entire year the authorities searched for him until the child was found in Italy in October 1983. Akira claimed in the midst of the general surprise to have been kidnapped by non-human creatures and to have visited other worlds. The experience of having lived in contact with the aliens becomes clear to Zakamoto only during the summer of 2003, when he returned to Italy where he currently lives. As he writes in his “Diary of an Angel” (published by Yuasa) “Having experienced a meaningless life I started to perceive signs of the big change” . Following such perception Zakamoto started to remember his experience with beings from other planets and to paint prophetic subjects which characterise his poetic.
