Tokyo Illustrator Chocomoo Staying True To Her Underground Roots
If you’ve been paying attention then you probably noticed that Choco Moo is all over the place right now. From her bigtime collabs with Japanese fashion brands and musicians to praise from top K-Pop groups to international mag appearances and recent gallery shows in Tokyo, Los Angeles, and New York, Choco Mooâs exposure has hit the roof.
Despite her spherical rise, Choco Moo is staying true to her underground roots. She’s an independent and self-managed female artist, which makes her a rarity in the Japanese entertainment industry. Her individual punky fruity style lead FIZZYMAG to go have a virtual encounter of the Asian kind with the fun loving workaholic who proclaims: “Art is my life!”
