Takayuki's portfolio spans Transformers Rise of The Beasts Main Title, Touken Ranbu 2 Main on End, Touken Ranbu 2 Main Title (OPENING), SHISEIDO Ultimune TV spot among other commissions; the 9 selections indexed here each carry attribution straight back to the studio that made them. Titles in the gallery below include Dune: Part Three | Official Trailer - Main Title & Graphics, Street Fighter Movie - Sneak Peek - Title work, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping - title reveal, Transformers Rise of the Beasts: MainTitle, among others, each opening on the original artist source rather than rehosted media.

For the complete picture, Takayuki keeps work at otas.tv, and we treat those as the canonical record rather than duplicating them here. There's a reason we anchor Takayuki to Japan and to specific works instead of vague trend labels: the specifics are the part worth keeping.

What OTAS.TV puts front and centre

His studio site, OTAS.TV, files itself under motion design and art direction, and the front page is dominated by title work. The current featured set opens with the Dune: Part Three official trailer, where the credit covers main title and graphics, then runs through the Street Fighter movie sneak peek title work and the Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping title reveal. Trailer graphics and title reveals are a distinct discipline. You get seconds, not a minute, and the type has to survive compression, letterboxing, and a phone screen.

Transformers Rise of the Beasts and Heart of Stone appear on the site as full title sequences, and both already show up in the credit list above with their production context intact. Golden Kamuy sits alongside them as a main-on-end sequence, which is the harder brief in some ways: the audience is already reaching for the remote.

Short films, not just client work

Three entries on the site aren't commissioned at all. PORTAL is listed as an experimental short film, and it sits next to The Moment of Beauty and its follow-up, Beyond the Moment of Beauty - Into the Galaxy. Why does that matter? Personal films are where a title designer gets to test a look with nobody to sign off on it, and the vocabulary usually shows up in paid work two years later.

Where to see more

Case pages, credits, and playable cuts live on the artist's own site at otas.tv. Treat that as the source of record for roles and production companies on any project named here.
