Mirai Suenaga
Mirai in her Summer uniform.
Mirai Suenaga (末永みらい) is the site mascot character for Culture Japan (dannychoo.com) who I developed with illustrator Azami Yuko. Mirai started off as a single illustration in the corner of the site back in 2007 and since then has gained much popularity worldwide.
There has been many Mirai collaboration projects with Japanese companies such as Good Smile Company, Cospa, Nitro Plus, Kadokawa, King Records and more.
The kanji of her name is 末永未来 but "Mirai" is written as Hiragana. Her name means "Eternal Future".
