In 1990, Keith!! was selected for Shonen Jump's 70th Hop Step Award. The work was his manga debut. He is best known for his realistic illustrations in Kokou no Hito, Innocent, and Innocent Rouge. Since Innocent, his drawing process has been fully digital. He says that switching to digital drawing has opened up a new world for him, enabling him to "fix his drawings as many times as he wants" and to be "thoroughly expressive."
