AI Cartoon Photo Booth at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan
PhotoNemo ran an AI cartoon-style photo booth with Korean fashion brand RAWmantics at a major international fair at Tokyo Big Sight — the overseas milestone that followed the DDP exhibition in Seoul.
AI Cartoon Photo Booth at Tokyo Big Sight — International Exhibition
In November 2025, PhotoNemo took part in a large fashion & lifestyle fair held at Tokyo Big Sight, the international exhibition center in Odaiba, Tokyo. Operated as a collaboration booth with the Korean fashion brand RAWmantics, the project brought PhotoNemo's AI cartoon-style conversion photo booth to an overseas trade-show floor.

From Seoul's DDP to Tokyo — How the Partnership Grew
RAWmantics and PhotoNemo first worked together at an exhibition at DDP (Dongdaemun Design Plaza) in Seoul, South Korea. Visitor participation and the lift in brand awareness were clear on site, and that success led the brand to bring PhotoNemo along to its overseas exhibition.
At DDP, a waiting line formed in front of the booth, and while guests waited for their AI cartoon photos they naturally browsed the RAWmantics collection. Having seen this experiential-marketing loop work first-hand, the brand proposed the Tokyo collaboration.
On-Site — Where Fashion Meets Technology
Tokyo Big Sight hosts some of Japan's largest international fairs, gathering fashion and lifestyle brands in one place. Within it, RAWmantics and PhotoNemo built their booth around a single concept: an emotional experience zone where fashion meets photography.
Visitors shot freely at the booth, and during the short wait for their AI-converted photos they browsed the brand's clothing — a pattern of shoot → wait → browse → purchase that repeated throughout the fair. Several visitors told the team they had found and bought an item while waiting for their photo.
AI Cartoon Conversion — the Draw of the Booth
The core technology of this exhibition was PhotoNemo's AI cartoon-style conversion. The system reads each guest's face and expression and generates a unique cartoon-style image — even the same person, shot from the same angle, gets a different result every time. That novelty kept a steady line at the booth, and the RAWmantics team summed it up as "not just a photo booth, but a tool that makes the brand come alive."
Brand Customization — One Print, Lasting Branding
Every print frame carried the RAWmantics logo and brand name. Each photo a visitor took home worked as a brand object — on a desk, in a wallet, in a phone album — quietly re-exposing the brand long after the fair ended, whether or not it was ever shared on social media.
Results — an AI Photo Booth Proven Abroad
- A Seoul partnership that scaled overseas — the DDP collaboration in Korea grew into a Japanese international fair.
- Wait-time turned into purchases — the photo-conversion wait became browsing time, and browsing became sales.
- Lasting brand impressions — brand-framed prints kept working as offline and online exposure after the event.
- Proof that the experience travels — the AI cartoon conversion drew participation across language and culture, validating PhotoNemo outside Korea.
