Looking for a job? LEGO Yubaba is always hiring

Yubaba, the witchy proprietress of the bathhouse in Spirited Away, is my favorite type of villain: powerful, grandiose, nasty without being evil. Yubaba has a big head to match her ego, which makes the character the perfect subject for builder Rokan Cheung, who specializes in creating character busts in LEGO. The builder sets the character on a mosaic mat, complete with the witch’s rolling “Kashira” head pets.

Yubaba (Spirited Away) will be displaying at Brickvention 2026!!

You can see the builder’s skillful facial sculpting in play with Yubaba, like the plates with bows under her baggy eyes or the bold lashes created from minifig hands clipped to hotdogs.

You can see Rokan’s talent for brick-built likenesses in this kindly old man (clearly no relation to the witch above).
