Mirai Suenaga Birthday
Tis March the 3rd which means that its not only a festive day in Japan called Hina Matsuri, but its also the birthday of our Mirai Suenaga! Folks out there who know Mirai well will know how old she is this year - I guess the number of candles give it away ^^;
Mirai Suenaga started off as being the mascot character for this site dannychoo.com back in 2007. She didnt do much back then apart from grace the top header of the site. Since then she went on to work with many companies in the industry like Good Smile Company, Bushiroad, Nitroplus, Kadokawa, King Records, Yuzusoft, JC Staff, Kinokuniya and more. You can read more about Mirai on her profile page.
Over the past 2 years, many popular illustrators both domestic and international have illustrated Mirai for us. Wallpapers and photoshop files are distributed in these posts.
Many folks around the world support our Mirai-chan by posting their artwork of her - we post the ones that we can find on Pinterest. If your work is not there then just let us know!
The amount of Mirai related merchandise has slowly grown which includes Figma, Nendoroid and the Japanese language learning series Moekana. And some time later this year...
Mirai has gained many supporters worldwide who are always a pleasure to meet! You can meet some of them in my coverage of the Culture Japan booths.
Every year on her birthday, Mirai gets changed into her B'day suit.
Anyway, thanks for your continued support for Mirai - it means a lot to her and myself ^o^
