Yoshitomo Nara doesn't view them as being evil or having aggression but saw them as being among bigger people who held bigger knives or saws. Yoshitomo Nara's work has been influenced by the punk rock era in which he grew up in.

« I do not paint when I am happy I only paint when I am angry, lonely, sad, when i am able to talk to the work. »
Yoshitomo Nara
