BIOGRAPHY

AI☆MADONNA
Born in 1984 in Tokyo, Japan.
After studying performing arts and classical music (design section) at the Tokyo Metropolitan Senior High School of Fine Arts, she attended Makoto AIDA’s class (a contemporary artist) for a year in Bigakko.
In 2004, she has her first exhibit, Aozora Dosei, at the Mizuma Art Gallery with Ryuuta USHIRO (Chim↑Pom’s leader). She starts doing live-drawing performances on the street, mainly in the Akihabara area, as Ai☆Madonna (her artist name but she is also

called Ai KATO, her real name).
Her professional activities are painting, illustration, 3D art work and live-drawing, for which she often collaborates with idols or celebrities from the fashion world. Her symbolic representations of young girls are her way to express love.
She created her own company, Ai☆Madonna Production, and

started producing goodies and illustrations
