PEOPLE:
- Aya Shida. Wildlife Artist for Breath of the Wild.

QUOTE: 
"Shida: [For the Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild] we used Jōmon pottery and the look of the already established Guardians as a base, but also referenced ceremonial masks from Southeast Asia, children's drawings, and other things. I wanted to explore a different aesthetic than that found in Western art. 

… I used well-known animals as a motif, but that alone wouldn't have been interesting. Molding it into something like a camel but drawn by someone who has never actually seen a camel made it feel like some kind of mythological creature. I think that leaving in those undeveloped elements helped us capture the essence of something ancient while also being both unsettling and lovable."

Ya-ya-nyan, the mascot of Owase City, is a welcoming cat whose clothes celebrate Owase's nature, culture, and fishing industry. The name "Ya-ya" comes from the unique "Ya-ya Festival", where people dress in white and fight in the streets. Ya-ya-nyan’s special skill is being able to sleep anywhere.
