Kaplan: We already know you are one of the best LEGO MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about yourself other than that. What is your real name? What is your dayjob? Do you have any other hobbies or activities?

Yohei: I work as exclusive builder at PlusL. My other hobbies include watching animated TV series and Hero TV shows

K: Do you remember the day when you got your first LEGO set? Which set was it? And How old were you when you started playing with LEGO bricks?

Y: During my childhood I got lot of  random LEGO sets from our neighbors. Many of them are Classic Town sets

LEGO fan and flick.com user CK Tsang a.k.a. chiukeung recently shared this great collection of brick-built figures which are actually LEGO versions of Japanese Hina Dolls. The shaping of the figures is done nicely and equipped with great details including musical instruments and other accessories. Don't forget to check out the individual photos of the the dolls for more details.

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Ben Pitchford who was also the creator of huge Rivendell MOC in Ideas shared this amazing and giant MOC called "The Samurai Code" in his photo-stream. My favourite section is the small volcano and the stepped waterfalls. Colorful trees are also very beautiful. This MOC features one of the best examples of rock shaping.

Honestly I didn't know the meaning of the word "Kabuto" until I see this great little helmet MOC by LEGO fan and flickr.com user nobu_tary. This Japanese battle helmet (a kabuto) has a very cool design and very nice use of parts. Reversed use of horse helmets is interesting. Back of the helmet is also nicely decorated as well.  

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Takamichi Irie a.k.a. legomichiiiiii who has been blogged here with his amazing Pokemon creations shared these character figures from the Sailor Moon animated TV Series from 90's. The builder managed to create the iconic uniforms and body shapes of the characters using simpliest LEGO elements and did a very good job in my opinion.

LEGO fan and flickr.com user  torokimasa shared this amazing warrior mech Shirafuji in his photo-stream. I'm truly amazed by the Japanese style and posability of this creation. Metallic and white buildable action figure pieces are nicely combined with system parts to create a great look. I especially like the leg design of this mech. Small golden details are nice addition to the MOC as well.

We often see Dragon MOC's online but this one is really outstanding. This flying japanese dragon is a character named Shenron from the cartoon Dragon Ball and was built by flickr.com member Chungpo Cheng a.k.a Cha Mi. The snake-like body shaping looks really great and makes this dragon model unique. I especially like the brick-built head section with fierce teeth and red eyes. Check out the album for more photos.

I always like WWII military vehicles and especially fighters. Flickr.com member and brickmania team member Daniel Siskind shared this awesome Japanese fighter A6M Zero in his flickr acount. The cockpit section is brilliantly shaped with droid arm pieces. The diorama scene with all those small details like the workbench and containers makes this creation look even cooler. If you might want to own this model it is also available for pre-order on brickmania.com.

LEGO Fan, flickr.com member and our one of the favorite MOCer Tim Schwalfenberg has recently build his 28th MOC to IronBuilder contest against Jonas. He created a perfect Japanese type house which was named Forbidden Fortress. He used metallic silver pin parts to create a perfect angled Japanese roof. I mostly liked the scale of the model and use of headlight bricks to project windows. Tim and Jonas has created spectacular techniques during IronBuilder contest.
