A fan of Splatoon 3 has made locker designs that look as if they belonged to the Splatoon series' multiple idol characters. Lockers are one of the newest ways that Splatoon 3 players 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 the Splatoon series 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 of Splatoon and Splatoon 2 and Off the Hook being featured in Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion. The band Deep Cut serves as the idols for Splatoon 3 and almost immediately became popular online, thanks in part to one of its members, a new Splatoon 3 character 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, the Splatoon series' 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 3 players are able to accessorize their lockers using decorations earned from Hotlantis and from accomplishing certain single-player goals such as finding Sunken Sea Scrolls in Splatoon 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 the Splatoon 3 amiibo gear for 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 each Splatoon game.
The idols of the Splatoon series have become icons in the game's fanbase, particularly for always being implemented smartly into the series' single-player stories. Deep Cut's implementation in Splatoon 3's story was especially distinct from past idols and showed that Nintendo was not shy about going in new directions with idols. With Splatoon 3's DLC set to feature Off the Hook from Splatoon 2, there will still be plenty to see from the Splatoon series' cast of characters.
Splatoon 3 is available now on Nintendo Switch.
