Behind the Scenes: Check out Keita Takahashi's adorable To a T storyboard sketches

To a T, the latest whimsical video game from Katamari Damacy and Wattam creator Keita Takahashi, is out today.

Inevitably, it's as weird and wonderful as you'd expect. An offbeat adventure about a 13-year-old teenager, appropriately called Teen, whose body happens to be stuck in a permanent T-pose.

Over the course of an episodic story, players must help Teen navigate the unique challenges of their daily life alongside a fluffy companion, a host of anthropomorphic animals (including a scene-stealing singing giraffe named Giraffe), and other memorable characters.

During a recent interview with Game Developer at GDC 2025, Takahashi explained he envisioned To a T as a "sort of sitcom" and set about storyboarding the game's opening scenes in a bid to communicate his vision for the project.

Intrigued by how the game looked during those formative stages, we asked Takahashi whether he'd be willing to send a few of those storyboards careening our way. Thankfully, he obliged, and now we're able to share those charming sketches with you.

You can see 15 of those early storyboards in the slideshow above.

Then, you can read our deliriously wide-ranging interview with Takahashi to learn more about To a T and the inner-workings of one of the industry's most eclectic designers.
