Hirosaki City's mascot character "Takamaru-kun" LINE stickers are now on sale from November 7th.

The designer of the Takamaru-kun, Shogo Senoo (Tokyo), said, "Takamaru-kun stamped me from Hirosaki City around the beginning of this year. It seems that the city had the same plan. We agreed and the project proceeded. "

In making the film, I asked Takamaru to take various poses in order to make it practical. In order to respond to the feelings of the fans while keeping the basic rules, he said that he adopted an idea that Takamaru-kun does not have. “I believed in accepting the new Takamaru-kun,” says Senoo. The reaction from Hirosaki City Hall was also good.

Ikuko Ogasawara, who lived in the city and started to make merchandise by himself as a fan of Takamaru-kun, said, “I don't use LINE now, but it seems to be a chance to start. Was there a lot of fixed poses so far? I'm happy that Maru-kun has various facial expressions with this stamp. "

If this project is well received, the second and third editions are also in sight. “I want to put in a mechanism that allows Takamaru-kun to be more active,” says Senoo. "I waited a long time after saying" It's going to be released soon "in an interview article of Hirosaki Keizai Shimbun. Using Takamaru-kun stamp as one of the accents to convey the goodness of Hirosaki to the people of the world We hope that you will receive this stamp, and hope that this stamp will increase the number of people who are aware of the charm of Hirosaki City. "
