In Japan, it’s difficult to make a living doing only mecha design, so I’ve ended up working across different fields. But it’s helped broaden my perspective.
For the second half of this year, I’m planning to shift my focus to anime work.
The game I worked on for the past six months has finally been announced.
Daily Pac-Man@dailypacman.bsky.social · 3mo agoNEWS: Namco Legendary Mountains has been officially announced for Switch, Switch 2, and PC. This is a 3D chain puzzle game by BeXide with a voxel-style presentation taking after classic Namco games. It will be releasing sometime during the summer.
A Japanese VTuber watched Star Wars blind in chronological order (Ep 1-6). To her, it was "The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker"—she even grew to distrust the Jedi. This is exactly the reaction George Lucas intended by starting with Ep 1. I cried with her when Hayden’s Force Ghost appeared.
Imperial Army Transport (Part 2) Thanks to some extra reference images from @izmojuki.com, I was able to improve my model of his Imperial transport from Star Wars Visions! Also made some fancier renders of it for fun too. #starwars #starwarsships #starwarsvisions #blender #blender3d #blenderrender
Inspired by Doug Chiang’s art in "The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels," my 22-year-old, inexperienced self created CG art for my website. This was before the Special Editions, just as Ep I rumors began. I used StrataStudio Pro and KPT Bryce on a PowerMac 7500/100.
Imperial Transport - Star Wars Visions This unnamed heavy freighter created for an unpublished deleted scene from SW Visions: Lop & Ocho is probably the most obscure ship I've ever modeled! #starwars #starwarsships #starwarsvisions #blender #blender3d #blenderrender
An elephant-shaped kawari kabuto, an unusual type of samurai helmet.
I visited Makuhari Messe for work last weekend. Seeing the cherry blossoms starting to bloom reminded me of last spring. A year really does go by in the blink of an eye.
I bought The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte and have been reading it this week. It’s wonderful, especially the parts about how Leslye Headland developed the story in its early stages. It’s such a shame there won’t be a Season 2.
Je suis allé à une projection en avant-première. Le film sort enfin au Japon. C’était tellement bien ! J’ai adoré, c’est totalement mon genre. #marsexpress
I made so many friends from Japan and all over the world at SWCJ 2025 this year!
Finally on winter break, so I’m binging Pluribus. I’m blown away. It really makes me think.
As the year comes to an end, I returned my lucky cats to Gotokuji Temple, known for its lucky cats, and welcomed new ones for the coming year.

Personally, I see the original novel as a complete work, and I don’t believe the film is necessarily the final form.
