Of course, Japan had its own distinct variant of y2k design, influenced by prominent Japanese creators.

One such creator was Takashi Murakami, one of the pioneers of "superflat" - a style known for vivid color, flat shading, and chaotic, organic forms.

y2k-era rave flyers (esp in Europe) also incorporated Japan-inspired imagery.

A popular trope was the use of kana/kanji purely as a design detail, for "exotic" or "cool" factor - while historically important to y2k, this has raised some ethical debate in modern discourse.

The Designers Republic was one of the first Western y2k tastemakers to incorporate Japanese design into their work - their famous 1994 Emgire cover featured "Sissy", a mascot character inspired by retro anime. She would go onto appear in their work throughout the next decade

Much of western y2k's fascination with Japan came from its reputation as a hi-tech nation - a perfect match for a design aesthetic with tech as its forefront.

The western "anime boom" of the late 90's was also well underway - its "cool factor" influenced y2k-era design and ads.

Trying to actually get in the habit of drawing things since school is over, and since every cool artist on the internet has OCs, I decided it was time to draw some and not just leave them to die in my sketchbook. Also I love Y2K aesthetics and felt the need to do that again.
