You've been asking what inspires my character and toy work so here's a little corner of Japan I think every character designer should check out!

Kenelephant is a Tokyo-based manufacturer collaborating with incredible artists to bring their characters to life through gachapon and they approach it differently than anyone else.

Also if you want an excuse to go to Tokyo this October, come to our pixelpixel.jp event! Stay tuned!
