Today's the day we all pay our respects to Tomoko Kawakami (happy birthday), by looking back on one of her most prominent roles including Lolo, a priestess-in-training from the Klonoa series (@bandainamcous).
Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil (PlayStation 2, 2001)
Klonoa Beach Volleyball (PlayStation, 2002)
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series (multi-platform, 2022)
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series is out now on PC (Steam) and consoles (Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, and Xbox)!
Without being melodramatic, I need to state that Klonoa as a franchise has impacted my life in so many ways. I’ve met my close friends thanks to this series and it’s inspired me so much art-wise, I have no idea how my life would be if I never encountered it.
