1981年岐阜県生まれ、愛知県育ち。 16歳の時にBREAKINGを始め、そしてグラフィティを始める。20歳の時にアメリカに渡り、アートというものに出会う。アメリカの色々な州にてライブペイント、個展、アートイベントなどにて活躍し、その後サンフランシスコにてバイクメッセンジャーとなり、そのコミュニティーの中にて生きるための本当の意味を見いだし、その後に日本に帰国、東京にてメッセンジャーとなる。現在はメッセンジャーをやめ、絵を描く毎日をすごしつつ、日本、アメリカ、フランス、中国などにてグループ展を主催したり、個展をしたり、壁画、そしてライブペイントなどしている。基本は旅をして色々な物事を観るという価値観を大切にするために定住は全くしていない。日本各地を転々としながら、今はまた東京にて活動をしている。次はどこに住むか模索中。

Yoshifumi "yoshi47" Nomura
Born in 1981 Gifu Prefecture, Japan. At the age of twenty, he moved to California, U.S.A. to pursue an art career. He spent four years in the Bay Area doing live painting and participating in both solo exhibitions and art events. While living in San Francisco, he discovered a small group of avid bicyclists and became a bike messenger. It was through his experience as a courier that he found his essence of life and the conceptual basis for his art.
In 2006, he returned to Japan. Initially he lived in Tokyo, where he continued to work as a messenger and became involved in the bicycle industry between Japan and the U.S. He eventually relocated to Kariya City for 2.5 years to focus on his artistic and business endeavors. In 2010, he spent eight months in Tochigi then returned to Tokyo, where he is currently based. He is involved in art curating, art directing, graphic design, company/collaborative projects, and continues to exhibit his artwork worldwide such as United States of America, France, and China.
