Popkiller and chao-illustrator.com describe chao! as a Japanese illustrator who works with companies, fashion brands, cafés, and musicians. Tokusatsu Senshi and Space Warrior are apparel lines in the public catalog. His portfolio lists CHAI single-jacket designs. Full LP covers, including PUNK, were drawn by bassist Yuuki, per CHAI.

After CHAI, with MANA and KANA, he illustrated OKAME DEBUT (February 2026), directed the animated 夜はきらい video (Skream!), directed the 言いわけきかせて video (Rooftop), and made the documentary OK A ME REVOLUTION THROUGH MUSIC, which ran in theaters with DEBUT. Luke mixed the album and that later single.

From Luke's personal archive: he visited Tokyo and signed a Scoobert album for MANA, KANA, and chao!, with a group photo of the signed vinyl.
