Born in 1987. After graduating from Bunka Fashion College, Tondabayashi began working in illustration and collage, and started presenting her work in solo exhibitions in 2013. In 2016, she made her debut as an art director, working on the major-label debut of artist AIMYON. She is currently based in Tokyo.
Using a wide range of approaches, including collage, illustration, painting, three-dimensional works, and video, she creates visually striking pieces by combining motifs inspired by everyday life. Her work is known for its bold contrast of bizarre and charming elements. In addition to art direction for CD jackets and directing music videos, she also works on advertising visuals, spatial direction, and collaborations with fashion brands. Her artist’s pseudonym, Ran Tondabayashi, was given by Ikeda Takafumi, a prominent Japanese musician who is also known as Rekishi.
