Komugiko 2000's solo exhibition 'POP QUEST' is the animator's first in five years, following a 2021 show. Born in 2000, he established himself through music videos for NEE, Rima, and Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni., as well as the ending animation for the second season of 'Dandadan'. In May 2024, he co-founded studio ALBLE with animator Hanabushi and started the indie animation showcase and sales event 'Indie Anime Market X!'.
The exhibition at Harajuku Space will display illustration works created over the period 2016-2026, alongside a new manga titled 'Ghost Teller' drawn specifically for the event. Visitors can also participate in hands-on projects that explore animation expression. Limited-edition goods using newly drawn illustrations and a catalog featuring past works will be available for purchase at the venue.
