History[]

Early Work[]

The Daughter of Evil, Ichika's first major contribution

Ichika began as an artist by teaching herself illustration, reading books on the subject and honing her skills without formal lessons.[1] 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.[2]

Seeing this as an opportunity, Ichika contacted him and the two collaborated for the first time.[3] 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. Her art was commissioned to promote a theater adaption of The Daughter of Evil and its soundtrack, released in March.

In the following months, she also illustrated The Last Revolver and later Twiright Prank, the latter released in August. A week later, the first novel for the The Daughter of Evil Series, Clôture of Yellow was released, which she had provided the major illustrations. She later collaborated with Akuno-P in December 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.

Further Collaborations[]

Her next PV was Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep, released in May 2011. In July, Akuno-P's third summer 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.[4]

In December, The Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red was released, featuring Ichika's illustrations once again. In January of 2012, 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.[5] In March, her illustrations were used for the final The Daughter of Evil novel, along with you-ring's cover illustration. A week before the release, several illustrations were used in a promotional video for the book, set to Handbeat Clocktower.

Simultaneously, she promoted Akuno-P's upcoming album on her blog, which featured her illustrations in its booklet and cover.[6] 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, Ichika created Her Reason for the upcoming fanbook, which also featured a short comic about her growing collaboration with Akuno-P. Her character profiles from the novel series were later used in The Daughter of Evil Schedule Book 2013.
