About Me

Aloha! My name is Kiko Yamada and my art name is Ninja Sketch. I was born into a family or artists. My mother was a children's book illustrator and my father was an illustrator for advertisements. I have been a full time caricature artist for 14 years. I had a caricature/art stand on Maui in Lahaina, but sadly last year, the Maui fires burned down my spot. After the fires, I started working on a Hawaii Merchandise and Souvenir line. I feel like my years of being a caricature artist gave me very unique insight into what people like and respond to. Using my sense of humor and cartoony imagination I've created unique and one-of-a-kind merchandise that is different from all the other souvenirs I see around Hawaii.
