For the second year in a row, the main visual for TGS2026 was created by Zashikiwarashi ( @WarashiZ ), who has garnered attention for their delicate and unique artistic style!
The image conveys the fun of TGS through these adorable girls energetically enjoying their games.
Comment from Illustrator Zashikiwarashi
Since this year’s TGS is the longest ever—five days packed with fun—I was asked to create the main illustrations based on five different themes!
These five images show the girls I drew for the teaser having a blast at the game show!
I hope this conveys just how wonderful this event is—with so many ways to enjoy it—not only to current attendees but also to those who haven’t been yet!
