Touma is a Japanese artist and designer known for his distinctive urban and edgy art toys. He gained prominence in the designer toy scene with his signature sharp, angular aesthetics and stylized, anthropomorphic characters that often have a rebellious or mischievous look. Many of his figures have oversized, curved claws instead of hands, giving them a dynamic and aggressive stance. His designs often have a street-art aesthetic, blending elements of graffiti, hip-hop, and Japanese pop culture. Touma frequently designs animal-human hybrids, masked warriors, and robotic creatures with a sleek, futuristic look. Touma’s art toys are popular among urban vinyl collectors, kaiju fans, and designer toy enthusiasts who appreciate bold, dynamic, and highly stylized figures. Over the years Mark Nagata has collected thousands of toys and a fair amount of titles. The man behind San Francisco-based Max Toy Company is widely known as: Toy Collector. Illustrator. Magazine Founder/Publisher. Toy Designer. Artist. Author. Husband. Father. But the one description that might fit best is an unofficial one -- Kaiju Toy and Art Ambassador.
