# About me
I am a professional artist working in Japan. I draw manga and picture books, and I also contribute to the gaming industry.I am very happy to have this forum in which I am able to share my artwork and my thoughts with the English community, an open and relaxed opportunity I never thought I'd have.
My English skills are quite limited, which means I rely on my friend Kwibi for almost all of my English communications.
I wanted to take the time to properly explain my limitations with English, and to mention the fact that I have to prioritize my work in Japan above all other artistic ventures. Although this means that my participation on DA will be sporadic, and that I won't be able to keep up with or reply to all English comments, I hope you will continue to support my efforts here on DA.
Again, I am very happy to be here, and I feel lucky to be surrounded by so many friendly and wonderful people who have stopped by to view and comment on my work. Thank you all so much for making me feel welcome here. It is because of people like you that I am able to do what I do, and it is for you that I work as hard as I do.
日本で漫画描いたり、絵本描いたり、ゲーム製作のお手伝いをしたりしてます。
英語圏の皆さんに向かって、ゆるりと自分の絵や、それにまつわる考えだったりを伝えれる場を得る事ができ、とても嬉しいです。私自身は英語が得意では無いので、英語での交信は殆ど友人のKwibiに英訳してもらっています。
そんな感じで、私が英語で対応できるのには限界があります。日本での仕事もありますし。なので、deviantARTでの更新は仕事の合間になります。優しく見守ってくれれば嬉しいです。
deviantARTで、こんなに友好的で素晴らしい皆さんに迎えられ、絵を見てのコメントをいただき、感謝感謝です。応援してくれる皆さんのおかげで、仕事に打ち込めます。
みんなの為にも頑張るよー!

誕生日おめでとう!
I am so glad that I got all the volumes of Mega/Gigamix. That was certainly your magnum opus in some way. And the ending of Gigamix Vol. 3 was a satisfying conclusion to a great manga.

Happy birthday! I really love your pictures!
P.S: I want to be a professional artist like you! (I am the person who wants to study about art and design to be an illustrator.)

Happy early birthday Mr. Ariga~! I must say, your MegaMan books helped bring me joy through a really rough and confusing time in life. They brought me happiness, a light, something to get lost in when down or stressed, and I really appreciate it. I felt such strong emotions in the characters and world you brought to life, it was so nice. That was six years ago, and I still continue to enjoy your books just as much. Your art is amazing, I never get tired of looking at it. Your speedpaints are wonderful as well!
Happy early birthday Mr. Ariga, I hope you have a magnificent day!

Oh my gosh! I've read volume 1, 2 and 3 of your megaman gigamix series and they were just awesome! Thanks for making them!

Well it looks like we got a new Rockman in the works (Rockman 11). But I doubt you might do anything Megamix/Gigamix/Maniax/Remix related with it.

I had an idea for a time-traveling dimension hopping version of mega man/Rockman. kinda like a time cop shifting between the battle network and classic timelines. if you ever have the time I wanna see what you think this version of Megaman would look like.

Sensei! I just knew you are on Deviantart too. Oh! My favourite mangaka ever! I have read Rockman Megamix when I was a kid from around 20 years ago. It has impressed me until now.
