Those who have been following Mirai-chans story will know that she has a younger sister. With your feedback, this is what Azami sensei and I came up with. Will be working with sensei over the next few weeks to fine tune her looks and uniform. Her...
The server is taking a battering of late due to the amount of incremental incoming traffic but tonight is particularly bad - went down a few times orz. Now that the server is back up, I'm only going to post something short as I'm afraid a long post...

Announcing Nendoroid Mirai... I wish I was announcing Mirai-chans figure but end of year is going to be more realistic given the amount of projects in my hands at the moment. If the first figure was to be a Nendoroid version then most of the des...

Have a few more posts today but need to dash and will post when I get back in the afternoon but in the meantime... I noticed that many site owners have pictures of Mirai on their site which really does make me happy. But it also looks like many hav...
Now that I have moved the whole site onto the spanking new Nav2.0 platform, the header on each page is in need of different Mirai-chan poses. While Azamiyuko sensei and I work on her other costumes here are 7 new poses of Mirai in her sailor uniform...
An april fool is no fun if nobody falls for it so after seeing that Google had their TISP service up yesterday, I thought I should take advantage of the fact that it was still the 1st on the other side of the planet. Maybe they should call it "April...
Some of you may have noticed that I have been deliberately avoiding answering questions re our mascot Mirai staring in an anime... The reason was because I wasn't given permission - until now. I was given permission yesterday to announce it, Mirai-ch...

Thanks to all who came up with naming suggestions for our new mascot character. Many of them were good and the one that nearly made it was Chu-tan (Chu meaning "kiss" in Japanese). The suffix "-tan" however gives the impression that the person is you...
This is the final version of the mascot character (still considering the name!). Made the eyes more like the girls you see in Bishojo games and the legs are much longer (just like bishojo legs ^^;) Yuko Azami sensei has done a great job and am very p...
