Stereotype Marks 30 Years With Exhibition At Kaikai Kiki Gallery
An exhibition at a gallery run by Takashi Murakami puts 30 years of promotional and title design on the wall in its own right, at a point when the studio that makes the key visual, logo, and trailer is usually the least visible party to a release.

Design studio Stereotype will hold a 30th anniversary exhibition at Kaikai Kiki Gallery in Tokyo from October 2 to October 24, 2026. Admission is free. The show covers Stereotype's visual work for anime and games including "BLEACH," "Black Clover," and "Pokemon," and displays graphic and video works by founder Daisuke Yamada, who died in 2003, shown for the first time in 23 years.
Stereotype has worked on the visual side of anime and games since 1996, handling promotional videos, footage, logos, and key visuals rather than producing the works themselves. The gallery show places that output next to the work of founder Daisuke Yamada, an art director and graphic designer born in 1972 who started the studio and died in 2003.
His graphic and video pieces from 1996 to 2003 go on display for the first time in 23 years, among them a Takashi Murakami "727" exhibition poster, the poster for "GHOST IN THE SHELL," and T-shirt designs for the graphic wear label "ASYURA FIRST."
