Producer Yamato is overseeing the crowdfunding campaign for KISS's Custom Romance City 3D3, which has exceeded 35 times its original 1 million yen target.
Producer Yamato is the subject of two recent Yomimono stories, each covering a different project. The first story, from May 2026, reports on the crowdfunding campaign for Custom Romance City 3D3, a new 3D bishoujo game from KISS. Yamato, identified as the producer, gave an interview at the time the campaign had surpassed 35 times its 1 million yen goal. The campaign launched on April 24, 2025, and reached its initial target within one to two minutes. Yamato stated that development on the game began around 2020 and restarted about two and a half years before the interview.
The second story, from earlier in May 2026, covers the trailer and release date for the sixth film in the Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199 series, titled Aoi Meikyū (Blue Labyrinth). That story does not mention producer Yamato. The two stories share the name Yamato but refer to different entities: one is a producer at KISS, the other is the title spaceship in the anime franchise. No connection between the two is established in the provided stories.

The main guns and secondary guns have movable barrels. Included effect parts recreate the positron shockwave of the main gun firing. An angle-adjustable display base allows for flight scene reproduction. The kit comes with water-slide decals for various markings and a foil sticker for the hull name on the base.
