Kazuhiko Yakushiji was a good friend of Kazuki Takahashi and has great interest in marine life, especially dolphins, and has previously made many other sculptures depicting such marine mammals as well as Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Kisara (As well as Emperor Key themed trophies)

Thank you very much for the submission and trivia!

Zexal Valentine's Day comic/storyboards illustrated by director Kuwabara. These were only made for fun and never meant to go into actual production of the show

Near life-size No. 39 Hope (Utopia) statue which was displayed in the 2012 Jump Fiesta, the 2012 Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship in Japan and the 2013 Toyfair in America. It was built to be lightweight and capable of disassembly so it was not only easy to transport but could also be changed into a second pose (Which, I have to assume, just meant rotating the arms as seen in the available photos)

The glass trophies were sculpted in 2014 to be given out at the Jump Victory Carnival (1st place sculpture is blue, 2nd red, 3rd and 4th clear/white) and later displayed in a mini Yu-Gi-Oh! Art exhibition, also in 2014. He has also made Pendulum themed trophies depicting Yuya's pendulum, as well as a glass sculpture of Astral

Per Yu-Gi-Oh! tradition, Zexal features 3 viewer-designed monsters: Bachibachibachi, Dotedotengu and Tatakawa Knight, all released in 2011 in the OCG
