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.
Then, what should I put on it?
Well, at that time, there was only cyber,
so it became 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 rice.
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 that I washed with LEDs.
This is where I go shopping
It's a place where you can drive a car at a tremendous speed.
I started using a computer in 2018.
I wanted to make it in time for 2019.
I thought it would be until the Olympics,
but it was postponed and I was a little desperate.
I think it was a good opportunity to spread cyber activities.
By the time of the Olympics,
I think there will be a lot of customers from overseas.
At that time, I don't want you to be disappointed.
If you think that Japan is not cyber at all,
it's a shock for me.
No, it's not.
I was active to show that there are more cyber places in Japan.
What is your favorite anime, manga, or sci-fi work?
Of course, Akira is the same.
Akira was in Akihabara the other day.
I wore an obi and a kimono under the motif of Akira and took pictures.
It's something I've been doing since I was a kid,
so I feel like I'm soaking in sci-fi.
Do you know Cyber Coil?
It's an anime.
The setting is a typical Japanese city.
I really like the idea of having futuristic goods there.
It's the same with Patlabor.
It's not like the whole city is the future.
It's the city we live in now.
It's a world that's exactly the same.
I really like the idea of having the future there.
That's what I'm aiming for.
I'm making cyber stuff that has a future in mind.
In terms of technology, what I make is already out there in the world.
If you go to the future, technology will develop too much.
I think a lot of boring things will be found.
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, LED is better.
That's right.
I think this one is more troublesome.
It's troublesome to handle.
Of course, LED is better for electricity.
I think it's cuter when you touch it.
By the way, how long did it take you to make NEO?
It was really fast.
NEO was integrated right away.
I sent the design right away.
It was done in about three weeks.
It's a gentle color that's really different from LED.
If you look directly at the LED, it's too bright to see.
It's not like that.
It's soft and bright.
If you look at it like this, it's like a fantasy.
I've been contacted a lot and praised a lot.
I really want 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 really want foreign customers to come to Akihabara.
The most important thing is that Japan becomes a cyber country.
First of all, I'd like to have 10, 20, or 30 people like me.
