Illegal Waifus was founded in 2020, but my love for drawing and anime started long before that.
I used to draw for fun, gifting my art to friends — and they always loved it. One day, I thought: what if others might enjoy my art too? So I turned my drawings into stickers.

Slowly but surely, people began to notice. With the help of our amazing community of subscribers and customers, the Illegal Family started to grow 💜

In 2022, I finally brought my dream to life — I created Yuri, our first original character. I fell in love with her instantly… and so did our community.
Then, in summer 2023, we welcomed Ulti — her chaotic, spicy counterpart. Together, they’ve become the soul of our brand.

We’re based in New Mexico, USA, where all orders are packed and shipped from.
We also work closely with some of the best print partners and suppliers to bring you high-quality anime merch — from stickers and apparel to limited edition drops.

This shop means the world to me. I can’t imagine my life without Yuri, Ulti, or the Illegal Family.
Thank you for being part of this journey — and welcome if you’re new.
Here’s to more waifus, more art, and more memories together 🫶
