A fan ofSplatoon 3has made locker designs that look as if they belonged to theSplatoonseries' multiple idol characters. Lockers are one of the newest ways thatSplatoon 3players are able to personalize their in-game appearance and are one of the most popular forms of customization in the game’s community.
Perhaps the most well-known characters in theSplatoonseries are the game’s numerous idols who serve as announcers in each game. They also act as principal characters in each game’s story, with the Squid Sisters being the main characters in the single-player modes ofSplatoonandSplatoon 2and Off the Hook being featured inSplatoon 2: Octo Expansion. The band Deep Cut serves as the idols forSplatoon 3and almost immediately became popular online, thanks in part to one of its members,a newSplatoon 3character named Big Man, taking the internet by storm after being revealed a month before the game’s release.

Outside announcing multiplayer stages and representing teams during Splatfest, theSplatoonseries' idols do not make any appearances in multiplayer. Reddit user d1edr took it upon themselves to imagine what each idol’s in-game locker would look like by designing lockers based on each of them, complete with character-specific gear, colors, and Splashtags.Splatoon 3players are able to accessorize their lockers using decorations earned from Hotlantis and from accomplishing certain single-player goals such as findingSunken Sea Scrolls inSplatoon 3’s Alterna.

The fan who designed these lockers made them using Photoshop and a website that allows fans to make custom Splashtags. They went the extra mile by adding some characters' in-game outfits, such as theSplatoon3amiibo gearfor Pearl and Marina’s lockers. They also included decorations gained from finding Sunken Sea Scrolls, some of which give insight into the background of Deep Cut’s members. This fan also made a locker designed after series antagonist DJ Octavio, who has appeared as a boss in eachSplatoongame.
The idols of theSplatoonseries have become icons in the game’s fanbase, particularly for always being implemented smartly into the series' single-player stories. Deep Cut’s implementation inSplatoon 3’s story was especially distinct from past idols and showed that Nintendo was not shy about going in new directions with idols. WithSplatoon 3’s DLCset to feature Off the Hook fromSplatoon 2, there will still be plenty to see from theSplatoonseries' cast of characters.
