This is a translation of the source description. Dates, affiliations and plans refer to the source’s publication context, not a guarantee of current activity.
My head is made of rice smiling like a freshly cooked goddess, and my mysterious body grows plump and large as more smiles appear. When children laugh, steam comes out; when they feel down, I become salty. I’m a slightly clumsy and very kind onigiri ghost. Production cost: 100 yen. Made of cardboard. Not officially recognized by Yashio City. But my love for children is absolutely wholehearted in Japan.
