AI Character MakerDesign your OC. Reuse it everywhere.キャラクターを作る。
Describe your original character once — AI designs the portrait, you lock the look, and that same character carries into every manga panel, comic, and GIF you make next.
1 token to start and 1 every 2 days, then one-time packs that never expire. See pricing.
Everything an OC needs.
Design From a Prompt
Describe hair, eyes, outfit, and vibe — AI generates a full anime character portrait to start from.
Lock the Look
Save your OC's design once, then reuse the same face and outfit across every panel — no redrawing, no drift.
Works Across Every Maker
Your saved character carries into Manga Maker, Comic Maker, and GIF Maker — pick it and every generation is built around it.
Any Genre, Any Style
Anime, manga B&W, chibi, or webtoon — a portrait style that matches the story you're building.
No Subscription, Ever
1 token on signup, +1 every 2 days — no card required. Need more? One-time token packs, never a recurring charge.
Publish Your OC
Make your character public and it gets its own shareable page — or keep it private, your choice.
From idea to OC in 3 steps.
No character sheet template. No commission queue. Just a prompt and a lock-in.
Describe Your OC
Hair color, eye shape, outfit, expression, personality — write it like you're briefing an artist.
Generate & Refine
AI renders the portrait. Adjust the prompt and regenerate until the design is locked in.
Reuse Everywhere
Save the character, then pull it into manga panels, comics, and GIFs with consistent art.
Where your OC shows up.
Manga & Comic Casts
A consistent lead — and side cast — across every chapter and panel.
Original Character (OC) Design
Bring a character from your head onto the page for the first time.
Roleplay & Fan Projects
A reference portrait for the character you write, roleplay, or share.
Reference Sheets
One locked design you can screenshot, share, and hand off for commissions.
4 prompts that work
A character prompt is a spec sheet, not a scene: age, build, hair, eyes, outfit, one signature item, one personality cue. Leave out backgrounds and action — you want a reference you can reuse in every panel.
Cost: 1 token per panel
- PROMPT 01
17-year-old girl, short lavender bob with a star hairpin, green eyes, oversized cream hoodie over a school skirt, shy but stubborn expression, neutral background, front view.
→ A clean front-facing character sheet you can save as a reference and drop into any manga or comic panel.
- PROMPT 02
Mid-30s bounty hunter, weathered face, grey undercut, mechanical left arm, long duster coat, cigarette, tired half-smile, neutral background.
→ A seinen-style adult character reference with enough distinct features (arm, coat, undercut) to stay recognizable across pages.
- PROMPT 03
Chibi fox spirit mascot, orange fur with white tips, tiny blue scarf, big sparkly eyes, mischievous grin, three-quarter view.
→ A mascot sheet in chibi proportions — reuse it in sticker packs and GIFs without redesigning.
- PROMPT 04
Armored knight princess, silver plate with gold trim, long braided black hair, one eye covered by a bandage, calm determined stare, front view.
→ A fantasy protagonist reference; the bandage and braid give the model anchors it will keep consistent.

FAQ.
Does my character actually stay consistent across panels?+
Yes — once you lock a character's design, Gootaku reuses that reference when generating new panels, comics, or GIFs featuring them, instead of redrawing from scratch each time.
Can I upload my own drawing as the character reference?+
Yes. Instead of generating from a prompt you can upload an existing sketch, commission, or photo-based design as the reference image, and every later generation will be built around it.
Can I use my character in Manga Maker and Comic Maker both?+
Yes. A character you design once is available across Manga Maker, Comic Maker, and GIF Maker — no need to redesign per format.
How many tokens does designing a character take?+
Each portrait generation is 1 token, and each regenerate while you refine the prompt is another token. Saving and reusing the locked design costs nothing extra, and any generation that fails is refunded.
Can I share my OC with other people?+
Yes. Set the character to public and it gets its own shareable page; readers can follow you to see what you make with it next. Characters stay private until you flip that switch.
Your first OC is free.
