Hajime Sorayama is a renowned contemporary Japanese artist and illustrator, widely recognised for his hyper-realistic depictions of humanoid robots and biomechanical figures, particularly his seminal Sexy Robot series. Beginning with his first robot illustration in 1978, Sorayama established his signature theme on futuristic, metallic figures. He is renowned for his mesmerising chrome‑plated female robots and gynoids that merge human and machine elements. His artwork has been featured in international galleries and museums, including exhibitions like Unorthodox in New York, The Universe and Art at Tokyo's Mori Art Museum. His recent retrospective Light, Reflection, Transparency at the Nanzuka Art Institute in Shanghai and Tokyo (2025), have traced his extensive career across various mediums. Shenzen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning also featured his solo exhibition in 2025.
