Katsuya Terada's "Teradaki" Exhibition and GYAROMI Collaboration Opens Its Doors in Tokyo
One of the most respected names in the world of manga and illustration, Katsuya Terada, is returning with a new event that will excite his fans. The exhibition and sales event, titled "Teradaki Exhibition and Sale Show 2026 with GYAROMI," will be held from April 17-26, 2026, at GALLERY33 in Tokyo's art-filled Koenji district. This event will unveil the latest pieces from Terada's Teradaki series, which brings his unique drawings to everyday items, while also featuring a special collaboration with GYAROMI, a brand that has been taking the collectible figure world by storm.
Katsuya Terada is known in the industry by the nickname "Rakugaking" (Doodle King), a title he fully deserves. Having worked on many iconic projects, from character designs for Blood: The Last Vampire to the The Monkey King (Saiyukiden) manga and even classic illustrations for The Legend of Zelda, the artist is recognized for his detailed line style that blends Western and Eastern aesthetics. Terada's art does not just stay on paper; under the Teradaki brand, he offers fans a unique lifestyle by combining traditional crafts, such as Hasami porcelain with its 400-year history in Japan, with modern illustrations.
One of the most notable aspects of this exhibition is the partnership with the popular "sofubi" (soft vinyl) toy brand GYAROMI. Known particularly for characters like "Oshishi," GYAROMI has a massive following in the designer toy world. Within the scope of this collaboration, it is a matter of great curiosity how Terada's wild and organic drawing style will be reflected in vinyl figures. Visitors, who will have the chance to not only view but also purchase these limited-edition products, will experience the pinnacle of both traditional ceramic art and modern toy culture.
Held in a district like Koenji, which is the heart of alternative art, this event is the greatest proof that manga art is not just reading material, but also a collectible and lifestyle object. If you happen to be in Tokyo during these dates, we recommend you do not miss the chance to come across Katsuya Terada's limited-production products. Such collaborations show that artists continue to push their boundaries and always produce fresh and exciting content for their fan communities.
