The design features on the front of all kākahu, with the exception of the hoodie, where it is printed on the back to allow for a larger print area and greater visual impact.
KEN
Inspired by one of Street Fighter's most iconic characters, Ken represents determination, confidence, and the drive to continually push beyond your limits.
Known for his powerful fighting style and competitive spirit, Ken embodies perseverance, courage, and the willingness to rise to every challenge. His journey reflects the importance of dedication, hard work, and maintaining the belief that growth comes through commitment and effort.
Traditional koru patterns are woven throughout the artwork, symbolising progress, personal growth, and the continual pursuit of excellence. These elements complement Ken's relentless determination, reflecting the mindset of always striving to improve and reach new heights.
Bold, energetic, and full of intensity, this artwork blends contemporary gaming culture with Māori artistic expression in TP Illustration and Design's distinctive style. The design celebrates confidence, resilience, and the courage to keep moving forward no matter the obstacles.
Original artwork hand-drawn and digitally illustrated by Māori artist Netana Te Pou. This design is part of TP Illustration and Design's commitment to authentic, artist-created artwork. No AI-generated imagery is used in the creation of this design.
