Seasons of the Year

My very, very late entry for OkoHoshi Week Day 5 ^^;;;

[anchisupairaru]

Happy birthday, Okonogi-chan!!🫶🐻🧡💕🎉🌟

(Of course Hoshina's there to celebrate!!^^ This is a bit doodly, but I ran out of energy and time to do anything..well..less doodly, so...but I still wanted to draw something for her, and so here is what I've managed to do for her!!^^<3)

[okohoshiweek]

It's been a few weeks since OkoHoshi Week 2026 came to a close, but we're still accepting entries for the foreseeable future! In other news...

Today is March 30th!

Okonogi-chan's birthday!!

To celebrate, we'll be on the lookout for any OkoHoshi-themed tributes to our favorite girl on her special day to share with you all.

If you've created an OKHS birthday piece you think we've missed, feel free to reach out!

In the Kitchen / Flowers

For OkoHoshi Week Day 4! This was originally just going to be a normal kitchen scene with a vase of flowers sitting on the table or something, but I kept changing the composition over and over and ended up with this abstract scene instead... oh well!!

I don't see Okonogi being very clingy (at least not compared to Hoshina lol) so he's always extra happy when she does stick to him - even if it means being half-asleep ^^;;

Neither of them are morning people, but Hoshina's a lot better at faking it with the help of some coffee >.>

Okohosi Week 2026 Day 7 - Meet the Family

I got some unexpected free time, so I was able to throw this together! I should've spent this time working on a term paper, but the brain worms compelled me to do this instead. These are my Okohoshi fan kids, Sojiro and Konoko. I made them for last year's Okohoshi week, but I decided to update their characters/designs a bit. Info about them below the cut.

Sojiro Hoshina

Physical Info:

22 Years Old

5'8" (roughly an inch taller than Soshiro), Muscular Build

Inherited the Hoshina squinty eyes

Hair mostly inherited from Konomi, but it's texture somewhat resembles Soshiro's (making it a little easier to style I imagine)

He likes wearing his hair slightly longer and in a ponytail because he thinks his uncle Soichiro's long, braided hair looks really cool. He would braid and grow out his hair longer, but he doesn't want Soshiro to realize his hairstyle is an omage to Soichirio

Personality:

Sojiro is more serious like Konomi, but doesn't loudly express his annoyance towards any tomfoolery afoot (at most he'll face palm or give a heavy sigh), he may be desensitized by his father and sister

Sojiro does have a slightly playful and sassy side to him that comes out when he deems appropriate (AKA not at work)

Capabilities:

He really struggles with firearms and his father's dual wielding sword technique, but works well with a single sword. He wields a katana very similar to his uncle's and was primarily trained by Soichiro (Soshiro begrudgingly allowed it since Soichiro was more familiar with this fighting style)

Sojiro is an overall okay officer, he's not horrible, but he's not as talented as one would expect from a member of the Hoshina Clan. It took him 3 attempts to be accepted in the JAKDF

He is very fit both mentally and physically. He is strong, fast, intelligent, and diligent in his training, yet he somewhat struggles in battle with kaiju

He is very good with technology (learning a lot from Konomi), so his parents suggested that he work in operations if/when he was accepted in the JAKDF, but Sojiro's interests lie in engaging kaiju, so he chose to become an officer

Relationships

Soshiro - Sojiro gets along quite well with his father, but senses that he does not always tell him what he's feeling. Soshiro loves his son, but knows he has weaknesses that could one day get him killed on the battle field, which causes him a lot of concern. Soshiro does not want Sojiro to die in combat, but he doesn't want to be like his father and shut Sojiro down either, so he's kept most of his anxieties secret from his son. Soshiro has secretly pulled some strings to ensure that Sojiro is assigned to safer divisions and isn't called to engage with very dangerous kaiju

Konomi - Sojiro has a very positive relationship with his mother, they have a lot in common in terms of personality and interests. Sojiro's vast knowledge in the technical side of fighting kaiju (e.g. the suits, weapons, other technology) came from his eagerness to learn from Konomi. Like Soshiro, Konomi has a lot of anxiety about Sojiro being an officer and is well aware and supportive of the measures Soshiro has taken to keep him out of danger, but she doesn't appreciate his secrecy about it. Konomi has not yet told Sojiro about what Soshiro has done to ensure his safety (she doesn't want to damage their relationship and knows why Soshiro is being secretive about it), but instead is open to Sojiro about her worries for his safety without making it about Sojiro's skill level. Konomi's consistency in insisting Sojiro being careful and prioritizing his life has led to him actively trying to keep himself safe so he doesn't worry her more

Soichiro - Sojiro is very close to his uncle (even more so than Soshiro is aware of). Soichiro was not just the man who did the bulk of his training, but a true confidant for Sojiro. He is well aware that he is not as skilled as he should be after his many years of training, and he has a lot of self doubt because of that. Soichiro is the person Sojiro feels most comfortable talking to about these concerns. In turn, Soichiro is very supportive of his nephew and encourages him not to give up. Soichiro views these exchanges as sort of a redemption for how he treated Soshiro when they were younger. Soichiro also loves being so close to Sojiro because it gives him a connection to his brother.

Konoko Hoshina

Phsyical Info:

18 Years Old

4'9" (roughly an inch shorter than Konomi), Slim Build

Half-way inherited Soshiro's sharp canines, only her left canine is sharp

Hair color obviously resembles Soshiro, but her hair type is slightly more similar to Konomi's. She used to wear her hair longer, but she cut it shorter for convenience and to make fighting easier (although she misses her long hair and all the styling opportunities she has with it)

Personality:

Konoko is very playful and goofy like Soshiro, but is also much more outgoing and friendly than him. She has an earnest desire to get along with those around her and have a good time with them

Konoko secretly dons a serious side to her, usually coming out when she does extra training by herself. She would not have become so skilled if it weren't for her fierce determination to defeat kaiju and protect civilians

She keeps her serious nature to herself as much as possible because she wants to remain being perceived as a fun-loving girl, only a few people have seen just how intense she actually is

Capabilities

Konoko is an incredibly talented officer, a master of the blade (particularly her father's dual wielding sword technique) and is proficient in firearms as well (although she is still better with swords, so that is priamrily what she uses)

She was accepted into the JAKDF fresh out of high school on her first attempt and passed the entry exam with the highest score out of all the other applicants

While much of Konoko's skill does come from her innate talent for kaiju slaying, she would not be nearly as skilled if it weren't for how diligent she is in her training

Konoko, while not deficient per se, lacks the physical and mental prowess of many of her peers. She is a very petite woman who struggles to gain weight (including muscle), making her not as strong as her fellow officers, and she struggles with quick reasoning and decision making on the battle field (she's fairly impulsive, much more of a hit first ask questions later kind of person)

Relationships

Soshiro - Konoko and Soshiro have a very playful relationship. They constantly crack jokes, try to mess with each other, and overall just have a fun time. They also have lots of mutual respect between the two of them. Konoko really looks up to Soshiro, she admires how much effort he exerts in his training and on the battlefield, and she aspires to one day be like him. Soshiro admires how skilled Konoko has become and is over the moon by how much she could outperform himself when he was her age. He has plans that he has shared with no one other than Konomi to pass the No. 10 suit onto Konoko when he retires.

Konomi - Konoko has a loving relationship with her mother, but they do bicker every now and then. Konomi would be lying if she said her daughter's goofiness in inappropriate situations didn't bug her (especially since she knows Konoko is capable of being serious), but she supposes it was inevitable by having kids with Soshiro. Ultimately, she is very proud of her daughter and all that she's managed to achieve so far. Konomi, being the more emotionally grounded parent, is typically who Konoko goes to when she needs to confide in someone or ask for general life advice. They are also able to bond over their shared interests such as karaoke and plushies.

Soichiro - Konoko doesn't really have much of a relationship with her uncle, but she loves him regardless. She really wishes she had more of an excuse to talk to Soichiro and get to know him better, but unfortunately hasn't had much of an opportunity. She thinks the grudge Soshiro holds against him is silly and is very vocal about that fact (not that it's changed Soshiro's opinions). She recognizes how close her brother is with Soichiro and is glad that they are so close, she hopes to one day get a closer relationship with him like her brother has.

Sojiro and Konoko's Relationship

Sojiro and Konoko have a fairly standard sibling relationship. They fight on occassion, and fought a decent amount as children, but they love each other deeply and would do anything for each other. Much of the conflict Sojiro and Konoko had as children derived from Sojiro's jealousy over how quickly Konoko took to her training and weapon masteries. As adults, the little conflict they have is usually just over Sojiro wishing Konoko would be more serious. Sojiro does envy his sister quite a bit for her battle prowess, but he keeps most of those feelings to himself. Mainly, he's very proud of his sister and how much she's been able to accomplish. Konoko, while aware she is superior to her brother on a fighting scale, does not think less of him or thinks he's incapable in battle. Afterall, Sojiro is so smart and strong (attributes Konoko wishes she had), she couldn't image that he could be struggling.

OkoHoshi Week 2026 Day 7 - Time Off

Okonogi and Hoshina are off on a little stroll <3

Anyways, I can't believe I actually got a piece made for this week! I wanted to participate, but this last week has been one of the most stressful weeks I have had this semester, in part because my laptop decided to stop working out of no where. Thankfully, I got it fixed in time to make something!

I'm testing out a chibi style here because I am considering making art in this style to sell as stickers or key chains on RedBubble or smthn. If this is something you'd be at all interested in, lmk.

Hoshina and Okonogi in Kaiju No.8 THE GAME (Part 2)

I'm going to put it all in the end. I'll eat my ship crumbs.

Part 1 here

@okohoshiweek

Especial Request

In this request, it seems the only characters who will interact are Kafka and Hoshina. He promised they would eat when they finished. However, Hoshina wants Okonogi to come and eat with them as well.

I was impressed because I thought it was just the two of them and then he suddenly says that.

As far as I understand, eating or drinking alcohol with your coworkers after work is normal in Japan, so that feeds into my headcanon that they usually have dinner together.

Where he goes, she goes!

Kn8 THE GAME chapter 3

As I said here the scene with Okonogi could have easily been omitted. it's nice that she simply appears, they have a brief dialogue, and they smile at each other.

Memories

This scene is original, it is not in the manga. They like to promote the game's story as if everything that happens in it is canon. At least that's how it was before its release.

I like to think that this happens. That they help each other and work together in the same office.

I don't know if my volume was too high or Okonogi's scream was just that loud during the Hoshina VS No. 10 battle.

I only remember it because it made me laugh in this version. That compensates for the fact that the game models have limited facial expressions. We know she was crying because of him.

OKHS Week Day 7: Meet the Family...

Or rather, meet my OkoHoshi daughter Sayaka lol

I've drawn her a few times before of course, but I thought, now's the perfect time to finally make her a proper bio page!! I did my best to draw her as a manga character, but I'm not great at imitating other styles in the end >.<;;;

And for a bit of extra fun, I'd cast Kohara Konomi as her anime voice actor!

Since I accidentally named Sayaka after Konomi's VA (Senbongi Sayaka), I figured it'd be funny if the daughter's VA matched her mom's name too lol but Kohara does suit my image of Sayaka very well in any case - maybe not her overly cute or demure roles, but the more down-to-earth ones (Umino Sachi, Tachibana Akane, Monki Chikori, etc.)

Anyways - I actually prepared this piece ahead of time, but I'm still working on entries for the earlier days!! I have more on the way!!! Just consider it OkoHoshi Week Overtime ^^;;;;

[okohoshiweek]

Hi Admin 🧡💜

First of all, thank you for celebrating OkoHoshi with the various events you put together throughout the year! This ship is so so underrated! It's a pity, really, that the pair's relationship dynamics have so much potential but are still largely overlooked.

So... I planned to post a little multi-chapter fic something for OkoHoshi Week 2026 but I haven't even started to write anything yet. Would you accept late submissions like, a month late submissions??? 🫣

Also: a thousand time thanks to authors, artists, who blessed my dash with OkoHoshi this past week. Didn't have time enough to reblog anything yet, but I swear I WILL soon.

Have a nice day/evening/night!

Hello 🧡💜 Thank you for your kind words!

Within the vast sea of Hoshi ships, it is unfortunate that his bond with Okonogi often goes underappreciated... but by continuing to host various events, we hope the love for Okonogi x Hoshina will continue to grow!

With that said, please feel free to participate at your own pace!! We'll be happy to accept entries no matter the date.

Okonogi's birthday is on March 30th later this month. While we don't plan on hosting a formal event, we will be prompting folks to share OkoHoshi fanworks to celebrate if they like - so the OkoHoshi fanfare will continue on for a while longer yet.

We look forward to reading your finished work!

[anchisupairaru]

>Day 7: Time off♡

Only Okonogi knows that the Vice-Captain is quite the cuddler when given the time to show it and she's all for it!<⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>💕🧡💜💕

Kinda sad that this is the last day...(⁠个⁠_⁠个⁠)but! This was so fun to take part in!!🫶 I most definitely will be drawing this lovely pair again every now and then, so this ain't the last of them you'll see from me, that much I can guarantee!^^<3

Day 7: Time Off ⏰

[okohoshiweek]

It's the final day of OkoHoshi Week 2026!!

Today's prompts are Time Off and Meet the Family.

Though it's officially the last day, late entries are always welcome! Please feel free to participate at your own pace. If you @ us or tag your post for the event, we'll be happy to share it days, weeks or even months from now!
