Product Lineup

To commemorate the Osaka opening of the Mutsumi Inomata Retrospective　Exhibition, we are introducing a new 88Graph Platinum Edition featuring a previously unpublished illustration by Mutsumi Inomata.

For this special edition, we have used the very same paper that Mutsumi Inomata herself used for her original artwork, placing particular emphasis on faithfully reproducing the original colors, brushwork, and the subtle texture of her traditional art materials.

These 88Graph feature the beautiful artwork of Mutsumi Inomata, the original character designer for the anime series Future GPX Cyber Formula.

Mutsumi Inomata played a vital role in establishing the visual foundation of the series, creating the original character designs for Hayato Kazami and many of the other main characters.

Her elegant and delicately rendered character artwork became one of the defining elements behind the enduring popularity of the Cyber Formula series.
