About

I’m Yuji Katayama Braga de Carvalho, a 2D character artist and illustrator with 14 years of experience across comics, concept art, character design, and original IP development. I founded ByteNeko Studios and built a production color pipeline modeled on Korean and Chinese studio practices, including HSV-locked palettes per material, hue-shift methodology, and lighting condition color scripting. I created Red Bloom, an original transmedia IP in active development, and earned an Honor Mention at the Silent Manga Audition Contest in 2022.

I thrive on building cohesive visual systems—from character design to UI and environment assets—driven by world-building and narrative. I’m currently leading art direction for Red Bloom and SAGE (Unity) and developing long-form transmedia storytelling with bilingual output and collaborations across regions.

I created a tool in Unity to quickly create motion comics without needing to program for each new project. With this toolkit, I can create motion comics with special effects typical of games, music, and sound effects, simply by controlling the timing of the assets and animations.
