A home for contemporary character design.

Mojizu was founded by Ali Sabet, a character designer and illustrator, as a collaborative effort in 2005. It grew into a community of over 50,000 designers who shared more than 27,000 original characters. The community had its own vocabulary — the term eMojioriginated here — and its own culture of rating, commenting, and championing each other's work.

In 2011, the original site was taken offline due to unforeseen complications. It stayed dark for more than a decade.

In 2023, Ali recovered the rights to Mojizu. In 2026, we're rebuilding it from the ground up — honoring the original identity (the wordmark, the bullseye, the white-background rule) and modernizing everything around it. Contemporary characters and their wonderful talented creators will have a home again.

• Panel-curated uploads. Every Moji is reviewed by a team. Quality is the bar.
• Auto-generated Power Stats. Each character gets 6 stats derived from its image and tags.
• Moji War & Super Match. 1v1 wager battles and weekly 16-character brackets.
• Limited numbered editions. Collectors can buy, trade, and resell. Creators earn a 10% royalty on every secondary sale — forever.
• Closed-loop Mojicash. In-app currency for tipping, buying, and playing. No cash-out — this is a community, not a casino.

Characters are a part of our lives every day. The best ones come from real designers who sit down and draw. Digital tools are welcome — iPad, Procreate, Wacom, whatever gets the idea out of your head — but the hand behind the work matters. That's the bar.

Mojizu is the social network for the sharing of amazing characters by some of the most incredible designers in the world. If that's you, we hope you'll join us.
