Takato Yamamoto was born in Akita prefecture (Japan) in 1960. After graduating from the painting department of the Tokyo Zokei University, he experimented with the Ukiyo-e Pop style. He further refined and developed that style to create his "Heisei Esthiticism" style. His first exhibition was held in Tokyo, in 1998.
