My name as a Sumi artist, generally called Gago, is "Shiyu" which I named myself.
Since my real name is Yuki, that "Yu" and because I am born in Leo, "Shi" is taken from “shishi” which is the Japanese word for lion are combined.
I named myself "Shiyu", but it also has such a meaning behind it.
As a police officer and a task force member, I am proud that I have taken my life to protect Japan.
For that reason, I have the experience of pursuing and training my mental and physical strength and I wanted to make use of such experience for others.
“Strong like lion and use that strength to help others” is the idea that I put into my Gogo.
I love calligraphy, which I started when I was in elementary school, even now after decades from then.
I am grateful that I can make it a job, and I want to continue to like it until I run out of life.
I would be happy if someone else could connect with the path I had taken.
