Leo Tanaka

A Japanese man around twenty-seven with East Asian features and light skin, fluffy bleached-blond hair with dark roots, round black-rimmed glasses, a playful grin. He wears an oversized pastel-green knit sweater with a small patch, wide cream cargo pants, mismatched colorful socks, plain white slip-on shoes, and has a pencil behind his ear.

Goofy, imaginative, a bit chaotic, gives every toy a backstory.

Freelance plush and vinyl toy designer

Leo quit an office job to sew a plush version of his childhood dog. It sold out in an hour; now he designs toys for a living and his apartment has run out of shelves.
