As some of you may already know by reading Mirai-chans story, Mirai has a younger sister. Azami sensei and I will begin designs on her shortly and wanted your input on the following:- 1. Mirai's sister is tentatively named "Kako" meaning "the past" as Mirai means "the future." But Kako is probably not such a nice name to have so am currently thinking of a name that goes well with Mirai. Was thinking maybe Shorai [将来] which also means "Future." Do you have any suggestions? 2. What sort of school uniform? Mirai is high school and her younger sister would be secondary school so their uniforms wouldn't be the same. 3. Pose - what sort of suggestions do you have? Take into account that the last time I asked you, most of you said that Mirai's sister should be about 12 or 13 which I think is fine. I also like the idea of pony tails too.

How would one say "Destiny" in Japanese? No, wait, scratch that... A pose? Well, the one in the picture is great. Here I was looking at the picture and wondering for a second if Mirai had shrunk; they both have similar colored hair. Ack.

Toki, Mirai no toki, future's time. Eien, Eien no Mirai, everlasting future (is the structure alright there? ^^). With my (very) limited Japanese those are about all I can suggest. >_<

I'm not sure about the name either. Shorai doesn't really fit with a younger sister. I would think Mirai's child would be named Shorai. Since younger siblings tend to copy their older siblings, maybe Monomane (Japanese for copycat) and her position would try to mimic Mirai's, but she'd have a big smile and an overall excited look on her face that she's trying to mimic her older sister.

about the name i alway think like this Mirai = Mirin(some kind of booze) So..may be Karin = Kirin(The beer) Saki,Sagi = Sage Or Minayo,Minaho = Well is kinda Minna every body some thing like that(Not the myballs series)

I like the idea of juxtaposing past and future by naming her Kako, but if you think it won't do, then Shorai also has a nice ring to it. Perhaps she could be a miko? Or, if not, at least frequently wear traditional clothing, whereas Mirai tends toward more contemporary garb.

I think the name Kako could work if you were to make her very traditional and old fashioned--in a very moe way, of course. ^_^ Personally I'd give her shorter spiky-ish hair--think Noe from True Tears--but that's just me. I'd probably make her hair red too because every character looks twice as awesome with red hair.

I like Shorai. Shorai matches Mirai well, and they should match!! They be sisters after all!! I think a red and white uniform, but I'm not sure what style. Probably somewhat similar to Mirai's, only different.... too similar would be boring right? 12/13 is a good age yus. One final thing, the skirt.... how long? Shorter or longer than Mirai's?(Taking into account the height difference ofc) I want to say shorter... but don't skirts get shorter the further they go through school? I think I heard that somewhere....

1. How about any nanme that starts with "Ka" (like Kanna), so Mirai could affectionally calls her Ka-ko? Karai is out of the question, obviously >_< 2. Short skirts, loose socks, a real thick-looking long-sleeved blazer and a bowtie with ribbons. Something like Nagato Yuki in SHNY, maybe. 3. I'm not a good pose-coordinator, unfortunately. That said, she needs Chiaki's leaf-shaped ahoge FTW.

(ID #166151) Posted on 2008/04/04 03:12
Maybe she should be named "Tomorrow"? As for the other two points I have no talent for dressing a person so I won't come up with a idea for a uniform (not mentioning the pose :/)

Hmm, how bout: Minarai = apprentice, or learn by observation. Mina-chan for short. Staying with your 'similar, but different' theme to Mirai. U like? Pose-wise, I agree we'd have to know if she were outgoin or shy beforehand. Much like Freeing's Haruhi & Mikuru. Big diff, agreed?
(ID #166233) Posted on 2008/04/04 07:09

THIS SHOULD BE THE WAY!!!! Name: いらみ [irami] yes it is actually Mirai's name read from right side [in haragana] And i wish her uniform shouldnt be too sexy. Remember the theory from Lucky Star? Absorb!! What onnechan[big sister] has should not be appearing on imoto[small sister] So, contrast is the right way! Uniform: Again, contrast! (one of the universal law of design). So make her unform not so open....The best should be the uniform from Girls only School! something like Maria-sama ga miteru (Coincidence ?? Maria and Mirai's name is "i" and "a" interchange!!!!) Pose: Suzumiya Haruhi's Kyon's Imoto pose at the beach side(The one that Danny did post with full birth-cloth mode)

Not what Danny asked... as they probably already have the designs... but make Mirai imouto as kawaii as possible. (wow, so many japanese-english words...). You know, Mirai is more beautiful and elegant... slender... *nosebleed* Mirai's little sister should be more cute. I'd say puchiko-chan cute, but then they wouldn't be sisters... completely different art style. :P I don't know how much the school uniforms can differ from each other... but what about something like School Rumble or Kore ga watashi no goshujin-sama?

You could have the sisters' names spell out a phrase or something. Maybe like "みらいからきたの" and split it into Mirai, Kara, and Kitano. I remember the anime ココロ図書館 did this with the three sisters' names. But this would only work if there were someone else to fill the third name.
