Using the Character Creator

Create a reusable AI anime character in Gootaku or upload art you already have, then keep the same look across manga panels, GIFs and videos.

A character is a reference your Comic, Manga, and GIF panels can point at so the same face, hair, and outfit show up consistently across an entire story, instead of drifting panel to panel.

Two ways to set one up

Generate one with AI

Name them and describe their appearance -- be specific: hair color and

style, eye color, outfit, any signature detail ("always wears a red ribbon").

Pick an art style (Anime, Manga B&W, Chibi, Webtoon).
Generate Preview (1 token) -- costs 1 token, shows a reference portrait.
Happy with it? Save Character. Not quite right? Adjust the description

and generate again (each attempt costs another token).

Upload art you already have If you've already drawn or commissioned the character, skip generation entirely: use Upload your own sheet (free) on the same page. Upload a clear, front-facing image (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 5MB) -- it's stored and attached to the character with no token cost. Filling in the appearance description as well still helps: panels that can't see the reference clearly (a very wide or distant shot) fall back on the written description to keep details right.

Using a character in Studio

Open Comic or Manga Maker, select a panel, and pick the character under Character in the panel's Scene tab. In the GIF Maker you pick one character for the whole loop, in the Frame tab. (The Video Maker doesn't use characters.) Every panel using that character carries their look into the generated art automatically -- you don't need to describe their appearance again in the panel prompt, just describe what they're doing.

Public vs. private

Toggle the globe/lock icon on a saved character to make them public (anyone can view and reuse them) or keep them private (visible only to you). Characters start private.

Deleting a character

The trash icon on a character card removes it permanently, including from any panels that reference it (those panels keep their already-generated art -- only the link to reuse that character elsewhere is removed).
