Welcome to the Solaris Blog! ヾ( ʚ̴̶̷ .̫ ʚ̴̶̷ )ﾉ”

Sugar, spice, and everything... catnip? Shizuku embodies the ultimate fusion of charm and allure, with a legendary pedigree straight from Kantoku’s artistic laboratory! Add in her cat ears, mischievous tail and customizable wardrobe and it’s as if she’s been whipped up with a splash of Kantoku Chemical X. She is ready to paw-sitively captivate your collection.

Behind this captivating piece is the legendary Kantoku (カントク), a renowned Japanese illustrator and character designer. Kantoku has earned international fame for his intricate designs and vibrant color palettes. Known for his distinct moe aesthetics, Kantoku captures characters with lifelike charm, emphasizing their personality and emotions.

With works like The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat and contributions to the light novel and visual novel scenes, Kantoku’s art transcends mediums, drawing fans into his vivid and imaginative world. His love for plaid patterns is even a signature style, infusing his works with both elegance and whimsy.

Kantoku’s More Check! (モアチェック!) series, originating from his doujinshi circle After School of the 5th Year, is a celebration of bold, playful character designs. Shizuku, the poster girl of the series, stands out as a fan favorite. Her delicate balance of mischief and allure has made her a centerpiece in Kantoku’s portfolio.

More Check! is more than just an art collection though, it's a thematic exploration of patterns and personality, blending Kantoku's playful motifs with his renowned artistic precision. The figures from this series honor these designs by bringing his artwork to life with remarkable attention to detail. If you want more Kantoku, I have previously done an artist spotlight you may enjoy!

Shizuku’s figure radiates Kantoku’s signature aesthetic. Her playful pose is both lively and refined, capturing a moment of mischief. At 1/4 scale, this figure commands attention, standing out as a statement piece in any collection. Her outfit shows her innocence and flirtatious style and her look is completed with her distinctive kemomimi, a nod to her moe charm.

Shizuku's kemomimi instantly catches your eye, blending demi-human charm with a mischievous, lighthearted tone. Her short brown hair is styled with a lovely side ponytail, held together by a playful grapefruit scrunchy. It is a detail so delightfully unexpected it gives the figure even more of a unique personality. Her bright smile and radiant expression exude warmth, inviting admiration with every glance.

Kantoku’s signature plaid is showcased in the scarf, wrapped snugly around her neck and adds to the sense of movement. Combined with her energetic pose, the figure is very dynamic, showing Shizuku caught in the middle of a breezy day of fun. Her hand up in a playful gesture mimicking a cat is another nod to Kantoku’s love of moe. The other holding a halved grapefruit is a bit odd on its own but makes sense when you know the context behind the original art.

Clad in a white sweater reminiscent of the famous virgin killer style, Shizuku’s design masterfully incorporates provocative elements while maintaining tasteful balance. The sweater stops just at her tail, subtly highlighting her curves without going too far. Adding to her charm, the sweater is removable! Doing so will reveal light blue underwear with delicate white polka dots for a more intimate display. This layered presentation allows you to personalize her look while admiring all the attention to detail.

Shizuku is the epitome of bishoujo artistry, blending Kantoku’s playful motifs with craftsmanship that shines in every detail. Ecchi, but not over the line, she’s perfect for fans of refined yet daring character design. She is available for pre-order with a September 2026 release planned!
