Taiki Kawakami Hand-Drawn Shikishi

Taiki Kawakami Rimuru Hand-Drawn Shikishi

A rare original Rimuru Tempest hand-drawn shikishi by Taiki Kawakami, the manga artist responsible for the manga adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Kawakami has played a major role in establishing the visual identity of the manga version of the series, translating the original story into the character expressions, action, and atmosphere recognized by fans around the world. Because of his direct connection to the series, an original depiction of Rimuru Tempest drawn by Kawakami carries particular significance for collectors.

This one-of-a-kind artwork features Rimuru in both humanoid and slime forms. The humanoid figure is rendered in a lively, expressive pose with Rimuru’s signature blue hair and distinctive costume, while the slime form appears prominently in the background, creating a dynamic composition that immediately represents the identity of the series.

The piece was personally hand-drawn, colored, inscribed, and signed by Taiki Kawakami. Unlike a simple autograph or pre-printed signed item, this is a complete original character illustration executed directly on a standard Japanese shikishi board.

The artwork also includes a personalized “TO” dedication, indicating that the piece was originally created for a specific recipient. This personalized inscription forms part of the artwork’s original history and provenance, making the piece genuinely unique.

The right side of the shikishi bears the handwritten Japanese title:

「転生したらスライムだった件」
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Original full-color character drawings by Kawakami are significantly less common than standard signed books or autograph-only items. Combined with the detailed Rimuru illustration, personalized dedication, handwritten title, and artist signature, this piece represents a distinctive unique 1/1 original artwork for serious collectors of the series and Japanese manga art.

A FANCOLLER Certificate of Authenticity is included with the artwork.
