Born in 1965, Niigata, Japan. Aida uses manga-like drawn girls (bi-shoujo) and motifs such as cannibalism, sex, war and politics in his works, which critics and curators acclaim for their critical approach toward the malfunctions of contemporary society. In creating works that are historically tabooed or avoided to provoke our aesthetic sensibility, Aida attempts to expose our positions as slaves to the commercialized modern world we contribute in. The Edible Artificial Girls Mi-Mi series of 2001 is one of the examples which was also exhibited at the 2001 Yokohama Triennale. He currently lives and works in Tokyo.

1965年生于日本新滹。会田诚运用漫画的方式绘画少女（两个少女）并进行主题创作，例如同类相食、性、战争和政治等主题曾在他的作品中出现过，批评家和策展人称赞其作品对当代社会的问题的批判。他创作了一些激发人们审美却长期禁忌的或是回避的作品，会田诚试图揭示我们在商业化社会中的奴性地位。2001年展于横滨国际当代艺术三年展的《食用人造少女 MI-MI》系列（2001）就是其中一个范例。他目前在东京工作和生活。
