While I would like not to make false accusations, my suspicion of this being AI trained on kanzarin is very strong and the account has some hallmarks of "AI account that doth protest too much." They upload every day or two days and to account for this their bio says they work fast because they "worked in a black company" in the past. Their bio also says they aren't AI (lol?) and used to say they were a part-time instructor at Kyoto U before someone started asking why multiple AI accounts use this cover story. Which then makes it more suspicious when they take it out, as if its a cheap cover that they realized put a bigger target on them than would be worth keeping.

This guy specifically posted some timelapses @hitokirifelix: here's an example.

A single timelapse isn't enough evidence to be confident that they aren't using AI, especially when they're plagiarizing off of kanzarin's style. Timelapse only proves that they drew post #8757763, which is visibly cleaner than their previous work. I still hold doubts.
Also in that tweet they claim you can't hide CSP layers, which is false.

There's definitely ways you could fudge a timelapse and that one doesn't really push me one way or the other on the account (the timelapse is also missing sections of the process is it not? Why does her finished tummy just appear from nowhere? I don't say this from a position of exerience with CSP but I don't see any place in the video where they would have drawn that.)

The way they behave is still a primary red flag to me. A human artist doesn't need to do the "people asking me questions already answered by my shirt that says NOT AI" bit because the organic nature of a human artstyle is self evident. People grow and change and start from zero and work their way up. An AI generation account that's trying to pass themselves off as something else needs to cover up with convenient excuses like "my portfolio starts two weeks ago with extremely clean and professional artwork because uh... I've been an in-house artist for a certain company until now" which like, yeah I know a lot of artists who were in-house somewhere. They still have social media accounts with years of sketches and small side stuff!
