About

Hi, I'm Kai!

My name is Kai Lobo and I'm a designer based in Shizuoka, Japan with experience in character design for animation, scenic design for theater, and illustration.

My love for storytelling has led me to explore different forms of art. Whether it be through animation, video games or theater, I strive to breathe life into the worlds and characters I work with through meaningful design choices and detail.

With my voice and  sketchbook in hand, I hope to tell stories that resonate with those who don't have the words to share them.
