"Koide san is very professional. An example of his professionalism is how he handles miscommunications. ‍ This can happen in any engagement, but not everyone deals with it well. ‍ Not only did he deal with this well, but he took accountability for areas in which he felt responsible. Secondly, I mistakenly wired too much money to his account. He promptly returned the money that was incorrectly sent, again further demonstrating trust, integrity, and responsibility. It's rare to find these qualities in a working relationship, and I would consider him for future projects as a result."

"It’s absolutely wonderful!! I was so moved. I’m really glad I asked you, Toru-kun. Thank you so much!"

"Tooru understood exactly what I wanted very quickly. One thing I really appreciate, is that Tooru made sure I took so many shots to choose the best photos from. He gave me many options and was very thorough to make sure we took many shots at many locations. He is also incredibly willing to try different lenses and change the equipment to find the perfect shot - not everyone will make such an effort for a client. ‍ Overall I am very happy with Tooru’s work and will not hesitate to use him again in the future. ‍ I think he has a great understanding and skill for lifestyle photography, but also he has a very personable, friendly and reliable character which makes him a pleasure to work with. I was amazed by how much flexibility he gave me since my flight into Tokyo was a little bit delayed before I could meet him for our shoot. He was very patient about this. Thank you Tooru!"

"Thank you for your help with the music video production for 'Soushiki.' You truly captured the narrative and world of the lyrics, and you carefully thought about the scene composition. ‍ No matter which scene you look at, you can feel both 'beauty' and 'decay,' which added more depth to the song. The filming was also a lot of fun. Thank you so much, Toru!"

"We filmed a samurai-themed video, and working with the cameraman left only the warmest impressions. ‍ He is a true professional: talented, detail-oriented, very kind, easy to communicate with, and flexible during filming. It was a pleasure and very easy to work with him — the creative atmosphere on set was always felt. If new projects come up in the future, I would be happy to work with him again!"

"We were really happy that we get to book you for our pre-nup shoot. Your editing skills are admirable given the packages you offer. Quality and affordability. Hope you have more clients soon!"

"Tooru was extremely helpful and full of insight. His amount of skill was definitely the top of the line, the edits and outcome of the video was professional. Absolutely satisfied with the product!"

"Everything looks good! Good job!"
