New day, new post! Today's blog post will be about Chiikawa. Chiikawa is a small, cute, animal-like character from Japan. Although it resembles a hamster, its actual species has never been confirmed. Its gender has also never been confirmed. This isn't surprising, since small, cute, genderless characters are actually a bit common in Japan. Chiikawa has been steadily gaining popularity, especially in recent months. It's similar to things from companies like Sanrio or San-X, so it isn't surprising that it's becoming popular. The character comes from the manga of the same name, and this series follows Chiikawa and their friends. Along with this, the manga has gotten an anime, as well. I personally really like this character because it's very cute, and I hope to see more of it in the future. As always, I will be including a picture of Chiikawa below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!
