SANDER STUDIO is an illustration, character design, and animation practice known for its playful yet deceptively simple aesthetic. Its founder pursues visual expressions that create lighthearted “smile moments” — from quirky characters and bold graphic prints to witty flip‑book animations.

With a strong track record across editorial, advertising, and publishing, the studio has collaborated with a wide range of prominent clients.

At the heart of SANDER STUDIO’s work lies the intersection of Japanese visual culture and everyday humor. Drawing from the subtle emotions and nuances found in street fashion, manga panels, and character‑driven storytelling, the studio transforms these elements into highly accessible artworks and products. Frequent solo and group exhibitions across Tokyo further showcase its dynamic presence in both commercial and gallery contexts.
