Akira Zakamoto was born in Tokyo, June 6th, 1974.
His mother Rumiko Toho, film producer, and his father
Toshiro Zakamoto, actor,initiated the little Akira to the world
of art since his very young age. During the summer of 1982
Azkira Zakamoto disappeared and for an entire year the authorities
searched for him until the child was found in Italy in October 1983.
Akira claimed in the midst of the general surprise to have
been kidnapped by non-human creatures and to have visited other worlds.
The experience of having lived in contact with the aliens
becomes clear to Zakamoto only during the summer of 2003,
when he returned to Italy where he currently lives.
As he writes in his “Diary of an Angel” (published by Yuasa)
“Having experienced a meaningless life I started to perceive
signs of the big change” . Following such perception Zakamoto
started to remember his experience with beings from other
planets and to paint prophetic subjects which characterise
his poetic.
