Keita Morimoto (森本 啓太, Morimoto Keita; born January 8, 1990, in Sakai City, Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese contemporary painter recognized for his atmospheric cityscapes and portraits that blend classical chiaroscuro techniques with scenes of everyday urban life. His nocturnal compositions merge historical painterly methods with images of vending machines, neon-lit streets, and anonymous figures, evoking both urban isolation and quiet reverence. Morimoto studied at OCAD University in Toronto and currently lives and works in Tokyo.
