Ichika is an illustrator, noted for her extensive contributions to the Evillious Chronicles. She provides many illustrations for Akuno-P, and works on her own projects as well.

Early Work
Ichika began as an artist by teaching herself illustration, reading books on the subject and honing her skills without formal lessons. Then, beginning in 2008, Ichika first began posting her own PVs for various songs, one notable one being Cantarella. Around the same time, Akuno-P was searching for illustrations for his song, The Daughter of Evil.

Seeing this as an opportunity, Ichika contacted him and the two collaborated for the first time. While the song was not popular initially, its sequel The Servant of Evil became extremely popular and both creators gained notability within the community. Ichika then kept illustrating PVs for other producers, teaming up with Akuno-P again for Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night, released in October 2008.

Her next major contribution would be Evil Food Eater Conchita, which was another success for both parties. After a string of successes, she illustrated the booklet and cover for Evils Theater. She would not collaborate with Akuno-P again until 2010, in which she contributed several drawings with other artists for The Daughter of White. In the following months, she also illustrated The Last Revolver and later Twiright Prank.

A week later, the first novel for the Story of Evil, titled Clôture of Yellow, was released, for which the artist had provided the major illustrations. She later collaborated with Akuno-P for his first commercial album Evils Kingdom by illustrating the album art and booklet. At the end of the year she released Memento, a collection of manga shorts reflecting on her work thus far.

Expansion into Novels
Upon the release of the second novel in The Daughter of Evil series, Ichika began to establish herself as a major illustrator for Akuno-P, providing interior illustrations once again. Her next PV was Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep, released in May 2011. Over the summer, Akuno-P's third mini-album Evils Court was released, complete with Ichika's artwork. A month later, Ichika was interviewed along with the other illustrators for Entr'acte of Evil: The Daughter of Evil Worldguide.

In November, she announced a collaboration with Kurousa-P, in which she would create a comic based on his work Cantarella. The manga began serialization on November 9 in Dragon Comics Ace, and concluded in the July 2012 issue (ref). The following month, The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red was released, featuring Ichika's illustrations once again. As January rolled around, Ichika announced her participation in the video game Hatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai, supplying costume designs for the songs The Daughter of Evil and The Servant of Evil.

In March, her illustrations were used for the final The Daughter of Evil novel, along with Yuurin's cover illustration. A week before the release, several illustrations were used in a promotional video for the book, set to Handbeat Clocktower. Her next project was the PV for Escape of Salmhofer the Witch, released at the end of July. Simultaneously, she promoted Akuno-P's upcoming album on her blog (ref), which featured her illustrations in its booklet and cover. An illustration of Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche was also used in a campaign with FamilyMart to tie in with Hatsune Miku's fifth anniversary.

In the following August, she created a Her Reason for the upcoming fanbook, which also featured a short comic about her growing collaboration with Akuno-P. In October, Cantarella was published in tankobon format; with Ichika promoting it on her blog (ref). Her character profiles from the novel series were later used in The Daughter of Evil Schedule Book 2013. Her final contribution for the year were character profiles for Akuno-P's new novel series, the first entry detailing The Lunacy of Duke Venomania.

Aside from Evillious, she revealed her participation in a MEITO Anthology(a gender-swapped version of MEIKO) along with plans to attend Comic Market 84 on the third day (ref). In September, she took on illustrating Deadly Sins of Evil: Evil Food Eater Conchita, completing both the cover and interior illustrations. A promotional video was later uploaded, featuring some of her illustrations.

Her talent was commissioned for indie band Deneb, illustrating the cover for their first album Ikirunisuto (ref). The first databook for the Deadly Sins of Evil was published in December, featuring her illustrations of Arte, Pollo, Elluka, and Platonic. On New Year's Eve, she released a statement reflecting on her work for 2013, as well as continued success in her future endeavors; also revealing that in November, her grandmother had passed away (ref).

In February 2014, Ichika's biggest project yet was announced: a manga adaption of The Daughter of Evil (ref). Prior to its release, she had participated in a livestream promoting the manga on Nico Nico Douga. Her next contribution would not come until August, with the release of The Muzzle of Nemesis. In addition, she also illustrated the PV of the same name. Only just a few weeks later,  Deadly Sins of Evil: Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep was released, featuring her illustrations once more.

Seventh Generation 150 Years of Love) to the magazine Mirufi (ref).

In addition, she illustrated the story of the same name, released with the limited edition of the album. She would later travel to Taiwan for autograph sessions, which she remarked being nervous about at first, before gradually relaxing. A couple weeks before, a PV was released for the titular song, featuring her illustrations once again. The album's website also featured character profiles from Ichika as well.

The following month, the release of Deadly Sins of Evil: Fifth Pierrot marked Ichika's next novel collaboration, along with a PV that featured several illustrations from the novel. Nearly a week later, she released her first artbook, Cocoon. The book featured full concepts of her Evillious artworks, as well as several original pieces. On Ichika's Pixiv, she uploaded a short original manga entitled "【ハコイリ】　7　話をする話・後編". Only a month later, she uploaded another original piece, "【刑務所話】　いつつめ". For the release of Miku Pack 13 in May, she created another manga short promoting the current novel entry.
