Held annually in Honolulu, Hawaii, the Honolulu Festival is a celebration that connects Japan and Hawaii through culture and creativity.
Following our collaboration this March, we’re now releasing illustration collections by two Japanese art students who participated in the event.

An illustrator mainly creates illustrations of male characters and also enjoys creating characters using manga and 3DCG as a hobby. This illustration collection is an archive of works created freely in the moment, capturing whatever he felt inspired to draw.
We’re excited to share their work with the NIUHI community. Take a look at their creations and discover the unique worlds they’ve brought to life.
At NIUHI, we’re passionate about supporting indie creators and helping their work reach readers across languages. We can’t wait to see how their creativity continues to connect with people everywhere!
