QUEEN of Cyberpunk in Japan - Cyber Mom

My name is Maiba Okan. I work as a cyber artist in Japan, In 2019, Blade Runner and Akira were in the same period of development. Even though we were in the same period of development, I thought that Japan was not cyber at all. For that reason, I had to make Japan cyber. So, in Akihabara, I started to promote cyber in Japan. I see. Can I ask you about the origin of your name, Cyber Okan? I have a mother in me, so I couldn't leave it behind. When I gave it a name. So, Okan was a must. What should I put on it? At that time, there was only cyber, so I named it Cyber Okan. This is what Cyber Okan usually looks like. It's cyber, so you can see it sucking in a lot of things. This is where I prepare my meals. Like in Japan, there are dolls on the table, and there is a mannequin cat. This is the laundry room. I usually carry a lot of cables and LEDs, so there are a lot of things I washed here. This is where I go shopping It's a place where you can drive a car at a great speed. I've been doing this since 2018. I thought I'd make it in time for 2019. I thought I'd make it by the Olympics, but it was postponed and I lost my life. I think it was a good opportunity to spread cyber activities. I think there will be a lot of customers from overseas at the Olympics. I don't want you to be disappointed at that time. If you think Japan is not cyber at all, it's a big shock for me. So I thought it was different. I was doing it to show that there are more cyber places in Japan. What is your favorite anime or manga? Is there any sci-fi work? Of course, Akira is the same. Akira was in Akihabara the other day. I was wearing an obi and a kimono under the motif of Akira. It's something I've been doing since I was a kid, so I'm already familiar with sci-fi. Do you know Cyber Coil? It's an anime. The setting is a typical Japanese city. There are some futuristic goods. I really like that. It's the same with Patlabor. The whole city is the future. It's not just the future. It's the city we live in now. It's the same world, and the future suddenly comes in there. I want to aim for that. I'm making cyber things with the image of the future. What I make is already out there in the world in terms of technology. If you go to the future, I think that technology will develop too much and you will find a lot of boring things. In a world that has become very convenient, it's more fun to be annoying. I'm really attracted to that kind of thing. For example, in terms of efficiency, LEDs are better. That's right. I think this one is more troublesome. It's troublesome to handle. Of course, LEDs are better now, but I think it's cuter to handle. By the way, how long did it take you to make this neon? It was really fast. Mr. Neon joined us right away. I sent him this design right away. It took me about three weeks to make it. It's a gentle color that's really different from LEDs. If you look directly at the LED, it's too bright and you can't see it, but it's not like that. It's soft and bright. That's right. When I look at it like this, it's quite fantastic. I'm getting a lot of calls and compliments. Everyone wants to go to Akihabara as soon as possible. Where can we see it in the future? If you go to Akihabara at night, this person will be with you with the lights on. I hope foreign customers will come to Akihabara. The most important thing is that Japan becomes a cyber country. First of all, I'd like to see 10, 20, or 30 people like me. That's the closest we can get.
