So on your twitter you retweeted someone who was like, “omg Ichiban is so hot who designed him I need to thank them!!!” So who did design Ichiban?

Toshihiro Nagoshi can be accredited to creating kiryu with Daisuke Sato having been the lead art director during Y1 to Y3, so it's fair to assume either one of them (or both) are also responsible in part to creating ichiban

buuuut it's hard to pinpoint what one person created ichiban- or who's even in charge of character designs strictly lest you want to look at Yuu Honya who's credited as 'character production lead'.

at the very least, the actual team in charge of character production includes Paku Sugiura, Chihiro Arai, Daishi Kanaya, Kenichiro Kimizuka, Maiko Hagiwara, Fumiya Taketatsu, Madoka Nakamura, Akira Sugiyama, Aoi Yoshitani, Shouki Kou, Kenjiro Nara, Ryosuke Usuki, Aoi Sato, Takahiro Kato, and Yuka Yamada

artists in general are credited as Chia-Ling Feng, Ya-Chu Huang, Yi-Ping Tu, Saori Tabata, and Li-Ling Lin
