Adobe's CREATOR KITCHEN Opens Season 3 With Kondo Haruki Returning
The program is built around a stated gap: generative AI use among people aged 20 and over in Japan rose from 26.7% to 52.2% in a year, yet explanations of the tools stop at operation instructions, which the program's producer frames as the reason AI creativity stays with a select group.

Adobe's official program CREATOR KITCHEN supported by Adobe opened Season 3 on Monday, September 28, 2026. Kondo Haruki returns alongside Ishiyama Renge, following Season 2. The first episode turns hand-drawn rough sketches into mascots and explores where Adobe Firefly fits into actual work, with a participatory project in which viewers turn their own illustrations into mascots.
The first Season 3 episode works from hand-drawn rough sketches of vegetables toward designs for plush toys and goods, keeping the sketch lines and the hand-drawn feel in the finished output rather than replacing them. Ishiyama Renge builds a mascot from a motif of her choice on a smartphone. Viewers are asked to turn their own illustrations into mascots in real time and post them, and a Q&A segment has Kondo asking whether generating an image is the end of the process and then working through how to carry that image into practical use. Streams run on YouTube from a kitchen-style set.
