The collar is standing up perfectly, too~ (Development Member N)
He’s making his debut from the "Devil May Cry" series.
Edmond Honda from "Street Fighter 6"
PR TIMESI agonized over whether to make him huge and muscular, or just go with the classic Honda look... but in the end, I decided to give him that powerful vibe that’s so typical of Honda. (Harukomori)
He’ll be making his debut in Street Fighter 6.
Juri "Street Fighter 6"
PR TIMESI tried to capture Juri’s signature provocative vibe through her poses and expressions. (Haruko Mori)
She will be appearing in Street Fighter 6.
Leon "Resident Evil: Requiem"
PR TIMESSince he’s the oldest member of this group, I focused on giving him a sense of stability and presence.
I hope you enjoy the differences in his skeletal structure and body mass compared to Grace. (Developer T)
He appears in " Resident Evil: Requiem."
Grace "Resident Evil: Requiem"
PR TIMESI aimed for a professional look befitting an analyst, but I’d be happy if you could also sense her characteristic charm. (Developer T)

Rudy "Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twin Dragons of Destiny"
PR TIMESIt was a pleasure to be in charge of a character who’s so much fun just to draw.
Thank you! (Harukomori)

Diana "Pragmata"
PR TIMESI was drawing this while pondering all sorts of things—what innocence is, what childlike qualities are...
I’d be happy if even a little bit of Diana’s cuteness comes through. (Harukomori)
She’ll be making her debut from Pragmata.
