I love this mysterious graffiti in blood on the wall: “lazy and coward little heart”

'Nikoroe' is a mix of 'niko-niko', smiling in Japanese, and 'kokoroe' which means 'wisdom, knowledge, common sense'. So nikoroe is kinda “happy wisdom”.

It is also a “forced” contraction and deformation of my name in Japanese: ニコラ　ロイヨ.

I live in Tokyo, where I raise 2 teenagers to great human beings. That's for the j-life.

I also spend a lot of time in my house in South of France that I try to turn into an eco-house.

I practice Kendo more as a religion than as a sport.

I document my thoughts and life with some photographs, no other ambition in this domain.

I work at LM3LABS that I founded 9 years ago.
