i found this contest through LilyBlossom6's entry (lovely entry, please check it out!!!) and i was like "omg this sounds so fun!!!!!!!!!" so i thought i'd throw my hat in the ring
i attempt to explain design choices
i thought i should further elaborate on elements of the design, because some of these aren't super obvious or i didnt execute them as well as i'd like to
The mask emoji in the set of emojis I used is actually an Oni mask. Onis are a kind of yokai (japanese spirits/supernaturals) usually represented as ogres, trolls, or demons. i chose to make him an oni instead of just making him wear the mask because.. to be honest i didnt wanna try to draw the mask LOL
because his kind originate from japanese folklore, i thought that i should make him wear some traditional japanese clothes! i chose a kimino because of this + they're fun to draw lol
the 3 fires are a reference to the fire emoji, and also... it's not very obvious but i wanted to make a reference to kappas (another kind of yokai)? like they have this thing where they have a depression in their head filled with water, and if the water is lost, the kappa is really weakened. and the 3 fires are supposed to be a reference 2 that... the one on the top of his head is the one that'll turn him to ash if it goes out, the other two are decoys
the bottom part of the kimono looks quite ripped up because i tried to make it look like a blazing fire??? like, the way i shaded it is supposed to look like the 3 fires... not sure how successful i was but...
the star design on his kimono and the metal shooting star... metal clip on thing? are references to the dizzy emoji which i interpreted as a shooting star ;_; sorry
and yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe ill draw the other entries so far in the contest, theyre really cool!!! the contest is here
i was also listening to this while designing him... thought that was relevant

character stuff 4 me and my friends to look at (you can look too!)
his name is kazuya
he/any
-unfortunately, he was born quite low level compared to his other yokai and especially to other onis... however, despite this, he wants to -become feared (he'll settle with well-known too!) among humans
-he spends his time lurking around, usually around farms because they're places for him to sleep
-super hotheaded (literally and figuratively, his skin is naturally very hot), but not actually threatening.. think of like, a tsundere
-has a soft spot for kids
fun faxs:
- he learned english from watching family guy and is the... american version? of a weaboo (initially a joke among my friends watching me draw this as the stripes and stars on his kimono looked like the american flag, ive decided it'd be funny if this was true lol)
- he is 5'1
- if you diffuse the top fire on his head, he'll turn into ash (no worries, he'll reform 2 days afterwards)
yayayayayayayayaya theres more but idk how 2 word it. no ones gonna read this anyway except maybe my friends LAWLZ
