Nice to meet you.
I am Japanese and a manager on this site. I also am painting one's portrait. As for beginning portray the portrait by me, the student was working part-time.
Everyone's face was drawn while working part-time and time was killed, and it was ..cod.. terrible and popular. Therefore, the homepage was opened to the public making it. Of course, it was a site of the self-satisfactory at that time in complete for parties concerned. Still, the reaction from everyone was happy, and, this time, it came to portray celebrity's portrait. Because I liked soccer and comedy, a favorite player and the artist were single-mindedly drawn. I am good at making the website because of the web director work. The site gradually became famous, and I came to get the request from the magazine and the television program when making efforts to the site.
It is not a main vocation to portray the portrait because I am a web director. Various experiences were done by portraying the portrait though it was such me. Everyone wanted to share it, and this site was made. Be not good when the person who paints one's portrait is connected more. It thinks, and it wants you to see more a lot of people of a wonderful likeness.
The popularity of the animated cartoon culture of Japan is still terrible when talking with an overseas person. Therefore, it is thought that it also wants an overseas person to make the site multilingual, and to see the likeness of Japan. And, I want to make the place where the person and the person are connected through the likeness.
I try and err by thinking about the mechanism making to which it ties the person every day. My best regards in the future.
