Based in Japan, Kohada is an illustrator specializing in character and novel illustrations, merging reality and fantasy with a style inspired by Japanese animation. Defined by clear textures, dynamic shadows, and expressive characters, Kohada’s art seamlessly blends the tangible and the imagined. Beyond illustration, Kohada integrates real-world objects, like sneakers, into comic-style artworks, erasing the boundaries between fiction and reality. With a background in literature, Kohada approaches art as a form of storytelling, using symbolic compositions, striking shapes, and memorable slogans to convey deeper meaning.
For Kohada, creativity is both a responsibility, a way of life and an expression of personal and cultural values that shape the present while looking toward the future.
