Shin Kitai san from Devilrobots
9 years ago Shin Kitai participated in a character design competition in Japan and he won wide recognition of his character TO-FU OYAKO, which has a lot of facial expression and even though it looks a bit sad but it is afterall loveable.
The TO-FU God came to LOG-ON (http://www.citysuper.com.hk) today and in collaboration of 8 Hong Kong local character designers/artists, created this small scale exhibition, T-shirt drawing/signing event and press interview.
I had the luck to meet him and had all the designers drew their character on a T-shirt I purchased. I also took polaroid pictures of them and had them signed!
"I am Shin, one of the founder of the DEVILROBOTS and I am an art director, as you know, I create all of the characters. Some people call me the TO-FU GOD"
"We grew up watching super robot animations, and we wanted to give our name a strong impact. We are not Angels, so we named our self DEVIL and we love ROBOTS, so these two words combined and became DEVILROBOTS."
