T9G

About Artist

T9G presents “RANGEAS” as the focal point at THEiCON—a signature character that has accompanied him from the beginning of his creative journey. Originally developed as a personal kaiju figure, RANGEAS marked his transition from commercial toy design to contemporary art, expanding the expressive possibilities of sofubi. Born in Tokyo and self-taught in sculpture and illustration, T9G started as a prototype sculptor before gaining recognition for his original characters at Design Festa. Few years later, his work was further acknowledged during his participation in the art fair GEISAI, setting him on a path toward full-time creation. Drawing inspiration from 1980s–90s Japanese tkokusatsu culture and the rebellious energy of Ura-Harajuku, his work reflects a fusion of nostalgia, independence, and myth. His recent interests in exotic plants, gaming, and street culture continue to shape the rhythm and tone of his evolving visual universe.
