OTAKU BESTIE PROJECT
A series of creative projects inspired by LE SSERAFIM's Sakura Miyawaki and her iconic phrase, "I'm an Otaku Bestie."
What started as an idea for a custom shirt to wear at a LE SSERAFIM concert… turned into a much bigger project.
I ended up designing two jerseys, a shirt, an original character “Saki”, animations, and even customizing some gaming accessories. Basically, I just wanted to see how far I could take the Otaku Bestie concept.
More to come. Job’s not finished.
THE APPAREL
DIfferent styles. Same Identity.
A collection of custom apparel inspired by Sakura Miyawaki’s Otaku Bestie persona, combining anime illustration with basketball culture and streetwear design.
THE ANIMATION "SAKI"
Illustration to animation
Bringing the Otaku Bestie “Saki” to life… but in a video game style. Combining: character and Environment illustration, motion graphics, video game like into a single design.
BEYOND THE APPAREL
more than just fashion
Why stop at clothing? Why not make fun customizations too? From a Nintendo Switch 2, headphones, basketball, and even a mini Saki keychain buddy.
