I. What is Chiikawa?
Chiikawa is a character created by Japanese illustrator Nagano. The name translates to “a small and cute little fellow with a feeling.” Originally introduced as a primary character in illustrations, Chiikawa gradually gained popularity, leading to the launch of a dedicated manga series and eventually an animated series. It has become a popular national cartoon character!
The protagonist of Chiikawa is a white, mysterious creature who is timid, gentle, and loves to cry. The main characters include Hachiiware, Usagi, Kurimanju senpai, and others. With its adorable and simple art style, Chiikawa captures the hearts of many, providing a healing and soothing experience.
Besides the Chiikawa Market, there is now an official online ichiban kuji (lottery) website for Chiikawa, where all sorts of prizes are waiting for you to win! However, the official website requires a Japanese phone number for registration. If you want to purchase, you can use Buy&Ship’s proxy purchasing service—it’s both affordable and convenient!
