Description: We at TotoToto were responsible for the creative direction of the 6th “Toushinsai 2021 REVENGE” tournament, one of Japan’s largest arcade esports competitions, jointly hosted by TAITO Corporation and NTT e-Sports Corporation. In addition to the art direction and design of the tournament logo, main visual, merchandise, and other related materials, we also handled the jacket design, direction, and production of the music video for the theme song, “Gaki Ranger / Agenagen feat. Umeda Cypher.”

Directed the opening sequence for “The Dragon Dentist,” an adventure fantasy set in the Land of Dragons and depicted on an epic scale. Focusing on the organic, fluid aspects of the story—such as souls passing through the dragon and the life and death of its people—the sequence unfolds as a complex visual experience with ever-changing expressions. By combining contemporary graphics with an emaki-inspired approach, the world of the work is rendered in an abstract form. These elements are paired with edgy motion typography to create the opening sequence.
