Hi, I’m Kai, I’m a Japan + Australia-based filmmaker & photographer.
My work spans travel, documentary, fashion, and branded content for global clients such as Netflix, Dior, and the History Channel.

My passion for cinematic storytelling has led me to capture diverse and inspiring stories from around the world. I also love to travel and the great outdoors, especially performing & shooting extreme sports.

Approach

Whether I am working with global brands or independent creatives, I believe in building trust, listening deeply, and using my camera to tell stories that resonate. My style is hands-on, flexible, and always focused on the heart of the story.

Special Skillset

  • Advanced snowboarder: proficient at riding & shooting on the ski-slopes

  • Languages: English (native), Japanese (fluent), French (fluent), German (fluent)

  • Coaching: Guest lecturer at the Tokyo Institute of Technology ( 東京工業大学)
