I remember when Kosuke started his career at ILM, where his talent was immediately noticed and recognized. He was assigned to work on shots from start to finish, which allowed him to gain a deep understanding of various software and a range of artistic skills. Later on, his love for VFX led him to work on multiple projects, resulting in several wins in VFX competitions over the years. Beyond his technical abilities, Kosuke is a generous mentor and colleague. He is always eager to help and share his profound knowledge with others. Having the opportunity to learn from him is a chance you do not want to miss out on.
