Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 23/05/2026I’ve worked in all kinds of fields—advertising, educational apps, game development, stage art, costume design for idols, and fantasy animation. I can’t really separate what influenced what anymore. It all became part of the same foundation, helping in different ways at different times. 010
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 22/05/2026In Japan, it’s difficult to make a living doing only mecha design, so I’ve ended up working across different fields. But it’s helped broaden my perspective. 1200
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 22/05/2026For the second half of this year, I’m planning to shift my focus to anime work. 3240
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 22/05/2026The game I worked on for the past six months has finally been announced. 070
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 10/05/2026A Japanese VTuber watched Star Wars blind in chronological order (Ep 1-6). To her, it was "The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker"—she even grew to distrust the Jedi. This is exactly the reaction George Lucas intended by starting with Ep 1. I cried with her when Hayden’s Force Ghost appeared. 1152
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 07/04/2026Great! And so fast! I'm currently learning Blender myself, so I'm really envious of your skills. Thank you so much. It barely appeared in the episode, but I’m honored to see so many people bringing it to life. It makes being a designer worth it. 220

Also made some fancier renders of it for fun too. #starwars #starwarsships #starwarsvisions #blender #blender3d #blenderrender 2174
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 05/04/2026Last year at Star Wars Celebration Japan, I finally met Doug Chiang. I thanked him and told him how his book was what set me on my path to becoming a creator. 1130
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 05/04/2026Inspired by Doug Chiang’s art in "The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels," my 22-year-old, inexperienced self created CG art for my website. This was before the Special Editions, just as Ep I rumors began. I used StrataStudio Pro and KPT Bryce on a PowerMac 7500/100. 1171

Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 05/04/2026I designed it to fit the canon; the rear containers are the same model as the AT-ACT’s, so you can derive the ship's scale from that. The underbelly design is shown in this image. For the landing gear, I used the Acclamator-class as a reference. Hope this helps your video! 120
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 05/04/2026Amazing! I’m so happy to see this. I’m impressed you recreated it so accurately using only publicly available art—truly wonderful work! This ship was originally meant to appear at the start of the episode, escorted by Gozanti-class cruisers, though it was eventually replaced by an ISD. 230

Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 09/03/2026I visited Makuhari Messe for work last weekend. Seeing the cherry blossoms starting to bloom reminded me of last spring. A year really does go by in the blink of an eye. 080
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 06/02/2026Thanks! That weapon originally comes from the Purge Troopers in Jedi: Fallen Order. For Visions, I intentionally brought in and selected elements from across Star Wars as a tribute and a thank-you to the many works that supported the series through years that were not easy, leading up to 2020. 010
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 06/02/2026Lately, I’ve also been reading Women Who Run With the Wolves. Together with The Heroine’s Journey: Woman’s Quest for Wholeness, it feels like an important lens for understanding Star Wars after the sequel trilogy. 050
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 06/02/2026I bought The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte and have been reading it this week. It’s wonderful, especially the parts about how Leslye Headland developed the story in its early stages. It’s such a shame there won’t be a Season 2. 190

Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 17/12/2025What makes Sakurazaka’s original work so remarkable isn’t just that it was an early example of time-loop storytelling, but the ingenuity of the Gitai’s time strategy—an idea that resembles a modern version control system. This is extremely difficult to convey in manga or on screen. 120
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 17/12/2025Personally, I see the original novel as a complete work, and I don’t believe the film is necessarily the final form. 250
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 17/12/2025It opens on January 9 in Japan, and on January 16 in both the U.S. and China. 010
Junji Okubo aka IZMOJUKI / 出雲重機 @izmojuki.com · 17/12/2025I feel the reaction in Japan before release hasn’t been great, perhaps because it’s a reimagined. And it’s not the kind of movie built around cute girls or Gundam-style mecha visuals that tend to be popular here. Still, I see those as superficial elements, not what really matters. 2140
