Design that Doesn’t Start with Clothes: Examining His Source of Creativity Woven from Sci-Fi & Creatures

The recurring "creature" and otherworldly elements in your work—how are they reflected in your designs?
The "creature" theme comes from my childhood immersion in otaku culture. I spent a lot of time alone as a child and was deeply absorbed in the worlds of manga, anime, and games.
