Nishimura Yuuji 10th Anniversary – Everyone’s Memory Fair
Who is Nishimura Yuuji?
Nishimura Yuuji is a versatile creator who defies labels. Centered around the companions of “Studio UG” – including Gokigen Panda, Konezumi, and Raburabito – he has released a wealth of illustrations, manga, and anime. But his activities don’t stop there. From publishing books and rolling out goods to hosting events, he’s all over the creative map. On YouTube, he regularly drops anime projects where he serves as director and animator, showcasing his range across different media and techniques.
Beyond his own work, Nishimura is also known for crafting new characters and collaborating with others. He’s the brains behind the web manga for Uchuu Nanchara Kotetsu-kun (which got a TV anime adaptation), and he regularly shares illustrations for official characters like “Tofu-gakari no Kuma” for Nissin Cup Soup and “Crunky Boy” for Lotte Crunky. He’s even teamed up with giants like Sanrio, redrawing popular characters in his signature style. With 2025 marking his 10th anniversary, he’s embracing the slogan “Everyone is the Star of the 10th Anniversary” with a variety of projects.
