Making A K-Pop Style Plush Doll of Kasuga Ichiban from Yakuza: Like A Dragon

I played Yakuza: Like A Dragon recently and absolutely loved the main character, Ichiban! Sadly there's no merch of him, so I had to make my own!

I've enjoyed seeing the new K-Pop/EXO style dolls recently, so I decided to make my own pattern for one. I went back and forth for a long time but decided to make him out of mochi minky (which I ended up having to dye to get the right skin color). I found the faux fur for his hair from Big Z Fabrics which I couldn't get over how perfect it was for the character!

You can read an in-depth writeup of the process of making him here:

Curious about the little cat plush? That's my mascot, Shifty! This tiny plush was made with a modified version of teacuplion's corgi ITH pattern:
