Kamikaze

A cartoonish character that appears to be a stylized cat. The cat has a prominent red headband with a circular emblem on it. It has a mischievous expression with its tongue sticking out and is making a gesture with its right hand, which looks like a rock or hand sign. The cat is wearing a striped shirt with a prominent red "B" on it. The overall design is bold and has a punk or rebellious theme.Born into the greyness of England at the end of the Seventies, by the age of four Jon-Paul Kaiser knew that what he wanted to do in life was a draw. From that point he rarely strayed from that path; scribbling and doodling his way through School, College and University. After working with Porlzilla, Jon-Paul decided to go it alone concentrating at first on the toy customization scene, building up a name and strong reputation for himself with his stark Black & White custom style, influenced by comic book art, film noir & Ukiyo-e prints. This lead to him being approached by established toy producers for designs for their platform toys. Principally amongst these are Toy2R who have released numerous JPK Platforms.
