	You’ll never see a crazier SF world than “12 MONSTERS!” Well, here comes the New Age SF Adventure! It’s new kind of Science Fiction!! Seems like these monsters’ world ain’t nothing normal. So, first we drop the design works @ the MTV Japan’s SNS site MyMTV! OUT NOW! Now we’re gonna jack other miscellaneous media..
	Apparently, there’ll be an online cannon-ball race for a super big prize held on some planet that nobody’s ever heard of. DZA (pronounced Dooza,) a pothunter/jack-of-all-trades, enters the cool race with his two roomies, Vampire and FLY, without deep consideration. After hard picking, the best 12 people (or are they monsters?) are selected as the final contestants. You have no idea if they are aliens or replicants but, at a glance, they ain’t humans, but really cool. 12 MONSTERS is Science Fiction of a new sense delivered by the 12 characters in a serious, tough and free style. In every episode, lots of different drama, action and exciting adventure roll out centering on the main character DZA.

	Raised in Japan, OKN received his baptism into Hollywood when he saw KING KONG and STAR WARS. Graduating from a Japanese art college, OKN started his career as a designer for game software development, a new medium back then. Game software is now a global entertainment product. OKN has always pursued his original titles with the worldwide market in mind even after he moved to SONIC TEAM of SEGA Corp. OKN’s works, like characters and outlook, contain Japanese traditional essence. At the same time, he brings a new wave of art into the Si-Fi world which is currently not really active. 12 MONSTERS is OKN’s best example and is his first creation after his independence with his intention to produce for game and animation for the world. OKN never calls himself “illustrator” but refers himself by the name of “Manga-style Artist.” That’s from his distinctive perspective based on his long-term experience as designer and art director for game production. Now, 12 MONSTERS is looking for an opportunity to be produced as comic, animation or game for the North American market. It is you who is reading this point of sale with great interest. OKN hopes to co-create more passionate work with an overwhelmingly new sense along with a client with the same goals.
