Hiroto Ikeuchi: Bringing Wearable Cyberpunk to Life
Hiroto Ikeuchi is a Japanese artist born in 1990, who is most known for his retro-future mechanic creations.
Graduating the prestigious Tama Art University's Department of Information Design in 2013, Ikeuchi has since developed a cult status in Japan, collaborating with other artists of many different fields.
During his time at university, Ikeuchi studied Flash and other IT related content, always keeping him around electronics. Being so close to computers, Ikeuchi started to see CPU parts almost as if they were small independent secret fortresses.
On the other hand, Ikeuchi loved to create plastic models, or "Plamo" in Japanese, during his free time. These two concepts clashed in his mind, leading to him creating hybrid-dioramas of multiple Plamos put together in one, kicking off his mecha-inspired creations.
Today, much of Ikeuchi's existence is still a mystery. However, his signature style of retro-future cyberpunk gear can be seen featured in many fields. He has collaborated with the likes of @arca1000000, @asaprocky, and @kohh_t20 just to name a few.
From small accessories to full outfits, check out some of his otherworldly pieces above.
