Kentaro Yabuki continues to draw official Hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME bonus cards while running a personal X account for hobby art. A 2nd anniversary collection book with a new Yukihana Lamy card he drew is set for September 18, 2026.
Kentaro Yabuki's 2026 coverage splits into two threads: official work for Shueisha's Hololive card game and a personal X account that has become a channel for hobby drawings. The personal account, "Kentaro Yabuki side," opened on May 28, 2026, separate from his Shueisha-affiliated "Kentaro Yabuki Info" account. Its first post was an illustration of Lala Satalin Deviluke from To Love-Ru, which drew over 50,000 likes by May 29, and the follower count reached 110,000 shortly after. A typo in that first post, where he wrote the official handle as "@yabukiLinfo" instead of "@yabuki_info," led him to post fan art of L from Death Note as an acknowledgment. A June 1 post showed an Evangelion Unit-08 drawing made for his preschool-age son, who requested it after seeing the pink mecha on Yabuki's shelf. On June 18 he posted Dragon Quest V fan art of the protagonist's daughter holding a tiny medal, saying the game got him into RPGs in seventh grade.
The Hololive card thread runs through the summer. V Jump's October issue, out August 21, included a newly drawn Houshou Marine card by Yabuki plus a conversation between him and Marine. V Jump then announced the "hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME 2nd Anniversary Blooming Memories" book for September 18, covering the past year of cards, with a new Yukihana Lamy card drawn by Yabuki. He had previously drawn Houshou Marine and Shirogane Noel cards for the game.
