Kunio Okawara is active in the Gundam X 30th anniversary push, contributing newly drawn cover art for the Record Compilation and having his rough designs included in the collection.
Kunio Okawara is part of the Gundam X 30th anniversary retrospective. His mechanical designs are the subject of preservation in the two-volume Record Compilation, where his rough designs appear alongside those of Masayoshi Nishimura. The collection, which opened for pre-orders in June, ships in January 2027.
Okawara also contributes new art for the anniversary. He drew the Resolution cover for the compilation's second volume, paired with a DREAMS cover by character designer Nobuyoshi Nishimura. The covers were revealed in August, ahead of the January release.
The anniversary also brings a new manga, but Okawara is not attached to it. Koichi Tokita writes the sequel spin-off, which starts in the October issue of Monthly Gundam Ace. Okawara's role stays with the archival and celebratory artwork.
