You know, I don't think he did. He wrote shimotsuma monogatari, which was a big hit for btssb -- they not only supplied the clothes for the movie, they sold the clothes as a collab with the movie and Takemoto, and then did a collab with Volks to sell Momoko as a BJD together with doll-sized btssb clothes, all this on top of basically using the movie to promote the brand, and some of the dresses were so popular you can still find them being re-released over and over (there's probably another hawase dress released some time this year). So btssb regularly dressed him up and put him in the GLB for publicity.


After his drug bust and he split up with btssb, you can see his true colours come out. Pic related. His fashion show. Seriously, I don't think this guy really wore lolita, he simply wore what his sponsor told him to wear.

Did you miss his new designs earlier this year? Pic related. So rori, so elegant, yes?

He wasn't a designer to start with, he was a light novelist. The clothes for the movie were provided by Baby, and then they later collaborated with him -- but how much of that collab is actually him designing and how much of it is Baby slapping his name on things is debatable.

So basically I'd leave him off the list of male designers.
