My interest in realistic sex dolls is closely tied to my personality. Looking back, it all began with labels people often use—otaku, nerd, gamer. I’ve always enjoyed video games, manga, role-playing games (especially the Persona series), and new technology. Put simply, I’m a geek—and I’m comfortable with that.

That said, don’t picture the stereotype: a guy in a faded Space Invaders T-shirt, oversized glasses, and zero social skills. My life is fairly ordinary, and I’m easy to get along with. In fact, it was this “geeky” side of me that helped me connect with someone special—a girl who shared similar interests.

She was a true otaku: a passionate manga collector, deeply immersed in Japanese and Korean culture. Unlike me, she also collected dolls—and proudly displayed them. These weren’t sex dolls, but Ball-Jointed Dolls (BJDs). What fascinated me most was her talent for clothing design and the way she used staged photography to give each doll a distinct personality and sense of life.

I wouldn’t call myself a designer or a traditional custom sex doll collector. Still, through her influence, I began exploring online galleries, forums, and enthusiast communities. Time passed, interests evolved—but that quiet curiosity, that desire to explore realism, creativity, and connection, never really faded.
