Mon, 16 Oct 2023 12:00:00 +0900

In the growing world of virtual interactions, especially within the VR-centric social media space, BOOTH has seen a significant surge in 3D model-related products, particularly avatars. Today, these transactions total a whopping 2.4 billion JPY (approx. 16 million USD) per year.

YOYOGI MORI stands out in this area, an avatar clothing brand led by character designer Tenju. It focuses on storytelling and aims to convey a unique worldbuilding through its models and fashion.

What sets YOYOGI MORI apart is their production style. Normally, one creator handles every step: from the idea to the design, to the final modelーbut YOYOGI MORI flips the script. They have a team of creators who work together, often rotating members depending on the project.

Why does YOYOGI MORI choose to work as a team? Is this the secret sauce behind their consistently top-notch creations? We talked to them about why they chose this approach and how they keep the team spirit strong.
