Japanese Celebrity Izumi Mori | Roof Ornament | Tokyo
We are thrilled to announce that we were commissioned by the model and DIY enthusiast, Ms. Izumi Mori, to design and produce a completely custom-made roof ornament! Last week, Ms. Mori finally installed it on her beloved "Giving Garden" and featured it on her "Izumi Mori's IZOOMI Channel." Known for her love of pets, passion for DIY, and cheerful personality, Ms. Mori desired a decorative product that was less imposing and perfectly matched her outdoor space surrounded by plants. The completed panel embodies these preferences, and she has raved that it's "100 times cuter!" Here, we would like to share with our readers the story of how it all began, from the custom order to the final feature on YouTube.
Ms. Izumi: "Otani-san! You're making something cool!"
One morning in May 2025, we received a notification from Etsy, the overseas handmade marketplace where we list our products, that we had received an inquiry from "Izumi Mori."
Ms. Izumi: "Otani-san! You're making something cool!"
We at Otani Ninja Deterrent™️ focus our sales efforts overseas, so we were surprised to receive an inquiry in Japanese from "Izumi Mori." "Izumi Mori"...? When it comes to Japanese customers named "Izumi Mori," only "that person" came to mind. We were overwhelmed with the desire to ask, but we suppressed our feelings and continued to respond.
Ms. Izumi: "I want it to be like a British greenhouse! 🇬🇧"
"Izumi-sama" requested the above, and we asked for design information regarding her greenhouse and surrounding areas. In the back of "Izumi-sama's" greenhouse, lush trees are planted, and I was concerned that the design of the roof ornament, while assertive, would not harmonize beautifully if it did not match the surrounding environment. Therefore, I went back to the origin of "Ninja Deterrent™️" and thought about metalwork as a "decoration."
Concept: "Sprouting and Flourishing Leaves"
Based on "Izumi-sama's" request and the information provided, we moved forward with the design concept of "Sprouting and Flourishing Leaves." To ensure it didn't get lost against the greenhouse background, we opted for a subdued black paint to accentuate the contours, starting with a design that features soft Gothic curves and pointed elements as a "roof ornament." Based on the dimensions provided, we adjusted it to the traditional Japanese silver ratio, aiming for a design that feels somewhat familiar, even though it is Western-style.
Ms. Izumi: "Otani-san 🥷, it's so wonderful ✨"
As a business, it was incredibly gratifying to have a customer, regardless of who they are, be so pleased. We worked on it for three days and three nights, from the rough draft to the inclusion of dimensions, so these words were truly an honor. The design was successfully approved by "Izumi Mori," and we contacted her with production instructions and a request for payment. It was here that, embarrassingly, I lost my patience and asked.
Otani: "Are you perhaps Ms. Izumi Mori, the model who loves DIY?"
Ms. Mori: "Yes! That's me, Izumi Mori! lol"
What a surprise! "Izumi Mori" was none other than the beautiful model and DIY enthusiast, "Ms. Izumi Mori," who is active in the entertainment industry. We had been pondering the possibility that the beautiful name "Izumi Mori" could only belong to "Ms. Izumi Mori," but it turned out to be the real "Ms. Izumi Mori." After that, everyone involved began production with a high level of tension, and we successfully delivered the product.
Ms. Mori: "The ornament is sooo cool!"
In early July 2025, "Ms. Izumi Mori" informed us via Instagram that the installation was complete and shared her feedback. "Ms. Izumi Mori" also informed us that she would be featuring the roof ornament on YouTube, and I eagerly awaited that moment.
"I think the greenhouse is 100 times cuter☺️"
Just as when I was devising the design, I watched this video for three days and three nights. What happiness! We are truly happy that a product we confidently worked on could bring such joy. In the video, she repeatedly said,
Ms. Mori: "Cool~!😊"
Ms. Mori: "Cute~!☺️"
She generously showered us with praise. After those three days and three nights, I realized that I had become a fan of hers.
Afterword
Ms. Mori in the video: "Thank you, Kyoto craftsman~!☺️"
Our staff: "He's a craftsman from Higashi Osaka..."

In Japan, we sell "Ninja Deterrent" as modestly as a ninja, only for overseas markets, so it was introduced as "a craftsman from Kyoto" in the video. However, the roof ornament was actually "designed in Osaka" and "manufactured in Higashi Osaka." It has become a laughing matter among those involved. 🥷
Summary
In this post, we introduced everything from the order to the installation of the custom-made roof ornament from "Ms. Izumi Mori." In addition to our lineup products, we can provide Ninja Deterrent™️ that are suitable for your precious home.
