Red represents Oba Yozo false persona in order to be accepted by humanity. Behind his cheerful attitude and eccentric behavior, he hides the sadness, anxiety, and fear he feels toward living life as a human being. To survive, Yozo chooses to become someone who constantly makes others laugh. He wears the mask of a clown, pretending to be fine while showing a happiness he never truly feels. He does all of this simply to be accepted by the world and the people around him. Red becomes a space for the falsehood, emotions, and wounds he continues to hide behind his own smile. -
Green represents Oba Yozo despair toward human nature. To him, people can reveal their true selves at any moment, and falsehood often becomes an instinct people need in order to survive in this world. The same thing happens to Yozo himself. To keep living, he hides behind a mask that is not truly his own. He pretends, adapts, and plays the version of himself others want to see, even though it slowly destroys his trust in both humanity and himself. Green becomes a space for the fear, anxiety, and despair that continue growing inside him. -

Black represents the darkest side of Oba Yozo, a crisis toward the meaning of humanity itself. A person who slowly distances himself from others because the world feels too full of hypocrisy, ego, and an endless hunger that never seems to fade. Beneath all of that, there is still a desire to be understood, yet at the same time he continues to refuse truly opening himself up to anyone. To Yozo, people live their lives without ever truly questioning themselves. They accept destruction, falsehood, and pain as if those things are normal. The way humans continue living through all of it is what makes the world feel so unbearable and disgusting in his eyes. Black becomes a space for all the disgust, anger, isolation, and emptiness slowly consuming him from within. -

The Yomogi Monster we created was inspired by Rani, a woman who feels disconnected from modern city life. To her, urban food feels artificial and lifeless. She searches for edible wild plants hidden in the city, believing that returning to something natural is the truest way to live. -
Horiki was one of the first people who could see that Oba Yozo was living behind a mask he created to survive among people. While others only saw him as funny and eccentric, Horiki saw the emptiness, fear, and fragile side that Yozo had always hidden from the world. But Horiki never came to save him. He was someone who understood human suffering too well, to the point where destruction began to feel normal. With Horiki, Yozo slowly drifted into a world filled with escape and emptiness — a world that looked free on the surface, yet quietly consumed him little by little. Horiki understood Yozo in a way no one else could, but because of that, he also knew which parts of him were the easiest to break. And maybe that is the most tragic thing about Horiki — he was never truly evil, only someone who had lived inside destruction for too long, until he unknowingly dragged others down with him. -
