Hello! My name is Yuriko Oto and I’m a visual development artist and painter, most recently on The Plankton Movie at Nickelodeon. I am originally from Nagoya, Japan, raised among cows and bicycles in Davis, CA, and graduated from San José State University in 2017 with a BFA in Animation/Illustration.

Past credits include:

• Dreamworks Animation (Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken)

• Rick and Morty LLC (Solar Opposites Season 2)

• Dreamworks TV (Where’s Waldo?, Archibald’s Next Big Thing)

Outside of art, I am usually in the outdoors pursuing one of too many outdoor hobbies I have, planning my next travels, or hanging out with my foster kittens. I also have a collection of kimonos (traditional Japanese dress) that I like to wear every opportunity I get.
