We wanted to learn more about the creator and his process of making the costumes. He responded: “First, I decide on the character for the costume. The decision is often based on characters from local anime studios, currently trending series, or suggestions and requests from my followers on social media.Then, I gather reference images online. Since colors may vary depending on the display, I try to source references as close to official materials as possible.”

We asked whether YagyouNEKO has a favorite costume he has made.The artist wrote: “I pour love and dedication into each piece I create. Some costumes are especially challenging due to the difficulty of the design, the effort to replicate them accurately, or the struggle to find the right materials. Picking a single favorite is tough, but since my sewing skills are always improving, I’d say my latest creation is always my current favorite.”

We also were curious to learn more about the stars, and his cats. YagyouNEKO wrote: “I worked with three cats: Koyomi (female), Yuki (female), and Takeru (male). Sadly, only Koyomi remains, as the other two have passed away. They were all very obedient, smart, and incredibly gentle.They truly loved the costumes I made for them, and they always had a calm expression during photo shoots. We traveled extensively, over 180,000 kilometers, to shoot in different locations. I feel like the bond between us was even deeper than family.Unlike a hundred years ago, we now have ways to archive a large number of photos. As long as I live, I intend to continue weaving the stories of my journeys with them.”
