Born and raised in Japan and based in Europe since 2002, I founded CATACI to help global brands and publishers collaborate with top Japanese manga artists, anime-style illustrators, and animation creators\u2014smoothly, professionally, and in both English and Japanese.<\/p>

CATACI is a Japan-based creative agency with an international client base, supporting projects across Europe, the United States, and Asia. We bring together a curated network of creators in Japan and a production team that manages projects end-to-end: artist selection, art direction, production coordination, translation, and final delivery. This structure allows clients to access premium Japanese manga, anime-style illustration, and Japanese-style animation with clarity, speed, and reliable production standards.<\/p>

With manga and anime\u2019s global popularity\u2014especially in Europe\u2014we help clients apply this visual language beyond traditional comics, from advertising and marketing campaigns to publishing, character licensing, brand storytelling, and animated content.<\/p>
