Verification of Artists for Addition of Original Figures

As outlined in BLOG #56110, please feel free to post artists here for which you'd like to request the "Verified" tag so their original figures may be added. Once we have checked your information, a staff member will add the tag to the artist's encyclopedia entry. Once it has the tag, and only then, their original figures may be added.

Presently, the following requirements must be met:
Artists:
View spoilerHide spoiler“Figures of original characters will be accepted if it can be proven that the character's creator (most commonly the figure's illustrator, although sculptors are also possible) is either Japanese, a citizen of Japan or (allegedly) has permanent resident status in Japan. Accepted sources for this are statements to that extent on social media sites such as Twitter, pixiv etc., information on Wikipedia or having a registered creator account on Skeb or comparable sites that require either a residence or a bank account in Japan.”

Original figures will be defined as follows:
View spoilerHide spoiler“Original figures will be considered to be such if they’re either entirely based on the artist’s own ideas or if they merely draw inspiration from public domain or other IPs.
Example: Fairy tales, anthromorphic national treasures or other landmarks/items associated with specific non-Japanese countries. In these cases, the artist creates his own character design while only drawing inspiration from a few specific aspects of the original creation such as clothes, hair color etc.

Ideally, please include
-a link to the artist's entry on MFC (or their name if there is none)
-a source of their proof of meeting our criteria (pixiv link etc.)
-if possible, also a link to at least one item they are involved with.

for now there is no proof of the artist living in Japan but based on the number of entries added on MFC and also sales on BOOTH, the artist should be a local Japanese.

Proof of Japanese residency: Unfortunately they do not outright state where they live, of course, but they sell on BOOTH and booth.fanbox.cc... states their sellers application only accepts Japanese addresses.
Their twitter and website are in mostly Japanese with lots of English. Verification help from staff would be nice...
This artist has a Skeb account and also a Japanese Amazon wishlist, if that counts.
