Yugen: a deep awareness of the universe that triggers a response too profound for words.
I thought that was a decent starting point for a toy brand.
Yugenlabs is a one-person designer toy brand. I design, 3D-model, and produce limited-run resin art toys — all part of the same universe.
Chibogbots is the gastromorfuic art series — Filipino streetfood fused with mecha design. Retro Riot is the retromorfuic art series — 90s tech nostalgia meets designer toy craftsmanship. Two lines, one world.
I grew up between two cultures — Filipino and Japanese — drawing in the margins of my notebooks, obsessed with mecha, street vendors, retro consoles, and the kind of stories that kept me up past midnight. Yugenlabs is what happens when you never really stop.
What I Do
Design Toys
Design / Print / AuthenticateEvery figure is 3D-designed and 3D-printed in resin, produced in small batches. No mass production. Each piece ships with a unique serial code and digital certificate of authenticity.
Build Worlds
Lore / Series / UniverseEvery figure has a story. From Chibogbots' gastromorfuic mecha fused with Filipino streetfood to Retro Riot's retromorfuic tributes to 90s tech — one universe, two art series.
How I Work
Limited, Not Lazy
Small runs mean every piece gets the attention it deserves. When it's gone, it's gone.
Two Cultures, One Vision
Half Filipino, half Japanese — the work pulls from both sides. Filipino street culture and Japanese mecha design aren't references, they're home.
Verified, Always
Digitally authenticated from the workbench to your shelf. No middlemen, no guesswork, no fakes.
Yogs
Designer / 3D ArtistYogs is a half-Filipino, half-Japanese designer and 3D artist based in Manila, Philippines. Yugenlabs started in 2025 as a way to build the kind of toys that didn't exist yet — where Filipino street culture meets Japanese mecha design.
Chibogbots draws from the street vendors and food carts of the Philippines, fusing them with the mecha silhouettes of 90s anime. Retro Riot channels the consoles and controllers of a childhood spent between two countries. Every figure is designed, 3D-modeled, and 3D-printed in resin by the same person.
