Kira of the Month (April 2025)

Hello, and welcome to the fourth edition of Kira of the Month, where we showcase what our mascot, Kira Yamada, has been doing for the month! Let's see what she's been doing for April.

Summary

IT'S KIRA'S BIRTHDAY!!

From that delicious birthday cake to the birthday hat she's wearing on top of her head. It's a nice celebration of Kira Yamada! 

I do want to say happy birthday to our beloved mascot, and I hope she has a great birthday! Celebrate it as much as you can for that special day!

The question I do want to ask is:

What's the flavor of the cake?? I do want to know so I can bring it home!

Behind the Scenes

What was the initial idea behind this month's Kira design?

The initial idea for this design would be to create a birthday design for our beloved mascot and the creator of our mascot.

Were there any specific themes, anime influences, or references that inspired the look?

The theme of the design was inspired by the celebration of both the creation of Kira Yamada and Kira herself. Something simple or meaningful.

Were there multiple sketches or versions? If so, what were the main differences?

There was mainly one sketch for the design since I wanted something simple, such as a birthday hat and her very own birthday cake!

What made you choose this final design over other options? (e.g. hair length, outfit, pose)

The reason I chose this final design was to make it a celebration of why Kira Yamada was created. Kira Yamada was created to celebrate the bright side of everything from top to bottom.

Is there a hidden detail or Easter egg in the design?

There's nothing specifically hidden or Easter egg we have for this design, but at least Kira can eat some delicious birthday cake.

If Kira had a personality or story for this month's look, what would it be?

We want to wish Kira Yamada a happy birthday. Every year, she has a brighter smile and a brighter aura she wants the world to see.
