Template:Nihongo is a fantasy artist influenced by both the Surrealism and Impressionism movements.[1][2][3] Most of his paintings are set in the fantastical land of Template:Nihongo. He created reference and background art for the Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart and also provided a cameo appearance as the voice of Minami. More recently, his works were given a more direct adaptation in the short film Template:Nihongo which is shown exclusively at the Ghibli Museum. He directed the 2007 OVA Iblard Jikan, produced by Studio Ghibli.
Inoue is currently a professor at Seian University of Art and Design.
He attended the Kanazawa College of Art from 1971 to 1973.
