From there he started to work for advertising agencies such as Hakuhodo, BBH Japan, and 180 Amsterdam, where he created campaigns for global brands such as Nissan, PlayStation, Levi’s, Adidas, Google, and Axe.
Outside of advertising, Masashi continues to explore the world of design, working on music videos, product design, among other endeavors.
