Who is the Master of SD Illustrations, “Yokoi-Sensei”?

Takaji Yokoi (commonly known as Yokoi-Sensei) was born in 1968 and displayed talent from his student days. His career began with a submission to the magazine “Model Information”, using the pen name Toriyama Retsu. This submission garnered attention, leading him to start working as an illustrator and character designer in his teens. Yokoi-Sensei revolutionized the traditional method of depicting low-height deformed characters. His works often feature 3-4 head tall child-like figures, exuding a pastoral and warm flavor. This unique style has made his works distinctive and beloved by many fans.
