Torajiro Aida

Torajiro is a Japanese high school student, who loves programming. He started programming at the age of 6, and since then he has been learning it by himself, making a lot of software for fun.


He is also interested in new technology, such as Blockchain. However, his interest is not only technology itself but also how technology affects our society and ethics. He has his own philosophy, that Blockchain will be an implementation of magic.

His parents are both contemporary artists, so he makes artworks, too. In 2015 he joined an exhibition ("Whose place is this?") at Museum Of Contemporary Art Tokyo with his parents. In 2018 his artwork took New Face Award in Japan Media Art Festival.
