Ikari Studio is a Spanish illustration studio founded by Santi Casas and Daniel Vendrell in Barcelona in 2002. Initially specializing in manga, they published the Monster Book of Manga series for HarperCollins for five years; the books, which explained how to draw this type of comic, were translated into dozens of languages. Over time, they have earned a worldwide reputation as one of the most versatile and productive Spanish illustration studios, branching out into all types of illustration, conceptual design for video games, and comics.
