I am grody, I am gross, I am a virus, a spore growing on the surface of all the pretty things. I am small now but growing voraciously. I am hungry. Grody Shogun is me. I am an artist and a toy making machine. I have giving up any sense of normalcy, in it's place I live and breath only to produce. I survive on the info passed down to me from the masters living and working in the sofubi world. I am a sponge soaking up any little bit I can. I do this for you and for I do this for us. We must cherish the old ways and do all we can to keep them alive. This is my apprenticeship, I take it very seriously. My masters are all around me. I honor them in my work.

They are known for their eerie yet whimsical handmade resin sculptures, which often feature melancholic, doll-like characters with surreal and unsettling expressions. Their work blends elements of dark humor, dreamlike narratives, and a touch of the grotesque, creating figures that feel both fragile and mysterious. Their signature characters, such as wide-eyed children, anthropomorphic creatures, and eerie twins, often have muted color palettes and delicate, hand-sculpted details. Each piece is carefully crafted and painted, making their work highly sought after in the art toy and lowbrow art communities.
