Its starting to get very warm indeed in Tokyo - the heat is causing me to think about is this years trip to Okinawa. Mirai and Haruka are going to come with me this time but unlike Mirai, Haruka doesn't have any bikini to wear yet.
These are so...

Introducing Mirai-chans younger sister - Haruka Suenaga illustrated for dannychoo.com by Azami Yuko sensei. Haruka was originally named "Kako" meaning "Past" but ended up sounding not too good. We decided to name her "Haruka" with the kanji [遥香]....
Some progress on Mirai's sister. Wondering if I should name her "Mirai's Sister" just like "Kyon's Sister."
Below will be the default colors for Mirai's sister - rusty red hair with yellow ribbons. Parts of the illustration are filled with singl...
Progress shots of Mirai's sister that Azami sensei and I are working on.
She turned out looking a bit older than originally planned but we still want a younger looking sister. So it looks like I'm going to go minami-ke style and have 3 sisters. This...
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....
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...
Some development sketches of the next version of Mirai-chan. This sketch which will be used as the base for the senga (final outline) version and is different from the previous rough sketch.
Azami-sensei is currently working on the next version...
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...

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 h...
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 unifor...
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 "Apri...
Some of you may have noticed that I have been deliberately avoiding answering questions re our mascot Mirai staring in an anime...

Received these this morning from Amazmiyuko sensei and got so excited and thought I should share my excitement with you. Adding a few tweaks to these images but they are pretty much final.
Now for a Japanese language lesson...

Just thought I would show you Azamiyuko sensei's progress of Mirai-chans bikini version. There will be a few tweaks to what you see below. I'm just wondering which version of Mirai I should choose to make into a figure ^^;
This is the latest version...
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...
Progress shots of the mascot character that Yuko Azami sensei and I am working on. Really pleased with the progress so far and cant wait to see her up on the site. These are not the final images and need a wee bit of tweaking though.
For those of yo...
I've always wanted to have a mascot character for this site since the dawn of time and when I first met Yuko Azami I knew it was time to create one.
Here is the first draft of a character who you will see dotted around the site in the future - the...
