I travel to New York to study the work of experimental filmmaker Jonas Mekas. We shot several little movies. At the crew I met Tsui Hark, who also study filmediting and cameraworks. Later my family my family moved to paris and I started a job as special effects artist at computer game company. I meet Li and with some friends and we founded our own studio where we worked on various projects including everything from television commercials to feature length productions.

My Name is Li Nomoto and I�m Art director of KAZABANE. I was born in Osaka, but my parent moved to France. I grow up in Grenoble. I began my work as a photographer. Comics had fascinated me as a child so I began to draw my own pages. I was not trained as comic artist but I learn by myself. At Paris�film academy I study charakter animation and directing movies. We make some cute little movies presented on conventions and late night tv. It was a big time and I worked on developing many of my ideas but I don�t realize them at this time. A lot of them especially the adult ones are involved in 5^th AXIS. I change over to the same computer game company Kimio worked with. So we are together here...
