He Drew Katoto In One Stroke

They told Richard Musinguzi to make his work “relatable.” One sketch later, Katoto Cartoon was born. Until then, his work was heavily influenced by anime and Western cartoons. Sitting outside a cinema, he drew Katoto in a single stroke, gave him a Rukiga voice and posted the animation without even thinking there was an audience waiting for it. By the next day, people were sharing it through texts and WhatsApp. That one sketch became the beginning of Katoto Cartoon.
