From the recorded profile

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.

Akabou-kun is inspired by a red hat. His birthday is May 12, the same day the first Akabou vehicle took to the road. Gentle and mild-mannered, he is surprisingly strong. To play with the children he loves, he drives safely to event venues all over Japan. Let’s go♪
