Welcome to Keisuke Iwahata's web site! Here you can explore paintings and characters created by Keisuke Iwahata, an illustrator born in Numazu City, Shizuoka, Japan.

I’m Keisuke Iwahata, an illustrator.
I’ve been painting pictures since I was a primary schooler.
When I was in the 4th grade, I was diagnosed with leukemia during the summer vacation.  I was taken to Shizuoka Children’s Hospital for treatment for 1 year.  While in the hospital, I was absorbed in reading comic books by my favorite Japanese comic artist, Fujio Akatsuka.  It was at that time that I first began to paint pictures.
After leaving the hospital, I still had to go to see my physician on a regular basis.  Fortunately, I’ve recovered from leukemia completely and been doing fine.
I paint pictures in my room whenever I feel like doing so.
At present, I take art lessons at a private art class named Astale every Saturday evening.  Astale is located near Mishima Hirokoji Station.  My art teacher and classmates at Astale always express their admiration for my works.
I held my one-person art exhibition for the first time at Seibu Department Store in November 2009. 
Since then, I’ve had art exhibitions in the following places.

I keep creating new characters whenever I hit upon the ideas of them.  I will continue to post new paintings and characters on my website.  So stay in touch with me.
