Who is NAMIKO?

Noda Namiko is a cosplay model, gravure muse, and creative director whose work blends sensuality, fantasy, and high-concept visuals. Based between Tokyo and Miami, Namiko has become known for her unique cosplay transformations, viral character concepts, and tasteful approach to erotic and fetish-inspired themes.

Namiko’s work explores erotic expression through a lens that is both tasteful and empowering. Every shot is crafted with care, as she primarily produces and directs her own photoshoots from start to finish. Her photography is deeply personal — an extension of her artistry — often reflecting her fascination with beauty, mood, and transformation.

As both a model and maker, she handcrafts her own costumes and props — a practice that merges her background in painting, design, and crafting. Her iconic takes on characters like a Final Fantasy XIV Moogle, Bowsette, and Racer Peach have earned her viral acclaim and a growing global fanbase. Namiko has collaborated with brands including Korura Club, Moe Flavor, Mr. LSexDoll, and Pink Punch, promoting their products across her social platforms — with over 200,000 followers on X and nearly 50,000 on Instagram.

She is also the creator of Peg-Boy, an erotic cosplay calendar zine that ran monthly between 2018 to 2024. Here, she began showcasing her boldest and most imaginative work. In addition to modeling, Namiko is passionate about tattooing and building her streetwear label, where her visual voice continues to evolve.

She hopes her creative journey inspires others to explore every facet of themselves, to try new passions unapologetically, and to chase the things they love without hesitation.
