BACKSTORY: Aster had a tough childhood. Born into a poor family, his parents separated when he was 1. He lived with his loving father in Hakodate, where he learned to fish and garden. At 5, his mother, now married to a wealthy man, gained custody of him due to her financial advantage, and he was taken to Edinburgh. There, life was difficult. His stepfather was cold, and his mother was dismissive, favoring his brothers. Though a gifted artist, his mother forced him to pursue medicine, banning him from drawing and painting. At 13, Aster's father passed away, plunging him into a deep depression that his mother dismissed. In high school, he was bullied severely. His bullies would beat him up, steal his things, call him derogatory things, and sexually assault him. This caused him to start self-harming. He tried to seek help from his teachers and mother, but none of them did anything. At 16, after two suicide attempts, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital and diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Secretly, he applied to the Royal College of Art in London and received a full scholarship. After high school, he left for London and quickly gained fame as an art prodigy, earning his first million euros while in college.
