Atsumi HIRO was born in Yokohama, Japan, and began using computers in their earliest days. Atsumi has been involved in the development of technologies such as word processors, digital cameras, and AI robots.

The work goes beyond the boundaries of conventional science fiction, questioning the nature of consciousness, life, and the self, and has been praised as a philosophical narrative.
