Continuing the proud Japanese traditions of 1) doing things that make you feel all crawly and 2) being about 15 years behind the fashion curve.

Yuki Ohshima (大嶋優木 Ōshima Yūki; 1974- ) is a Japanese freelance toy designer and occasional manga artist and writer. He's designed various figurines for Takara's Transformers lines and wrote two different manga series for the franchise. Prior to his official work on the franchise, he published several Transformers dōjinshi (Japanese fan-comics), including a crossover between the brand and Machine Robo (Japan's incarnation of GoBots).

His art is characterized by its high level of mechanical detail, as well as drawing Transformers based directly on their toys with great accuracy. This eventually led to him doing toy design work for Masterpiece Transformers. For his human characters, his art style is classified as moe, although many western Transformers fans believe it to actually be lolicon. Even when the girl in question is supposed to be a full-grown adult. The suggestively shaped tongue doesn't help.

Yuki states that he made all those creepy girls because he always wanted to do something that made jaws drop.[1] Well, he did it, didn't he?
