| Hi, I'm Hicchiru, an illustrator and narrative world-builder based in Malaysia. I'm currently building Yukurii's Diary—an ongoing narrative world that explores life through original characters and illustrated stories. I create narrative worlds that explore life's quiet questions through illustrated stories and everyday observations. As someone who is endlessly curious and often overwhelmed by life's questions, I use art and storytelling to explore the beautiful messiness of being human. Rather than searching for certainty, I explore life's questions with curiosity, allowing each story chapter to become part of an ongoing journey of understanding life. Through my characters and stories, I invite people to step into these worlds—not to escape reality, but to return to it with a little more curiosity, tenderness, and wonder. |
