Kobito Introductions Stick to a Plant and Food Theme for Four Weeks Running
The Kobito introduction posts, which began with Sumomo no Uchi on April 3, have now reached their fourth installment at roughly a weekly pace. Each post has featured a plant- or food-themed Kobito in turn.
| Date | Kobito | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| April 3 | Sumomo no Uchi | Clings to a plum and burrows inside it |
| April 10 | Ichigo Kurenai | Disguises itself as a strawberry |
| April 18 | Amakurisotsu | Disguises itself as a chestnut, entering the spiky husk in pairs |
| April 25 | Takenokobito | Lives in bamboo groves, eats bamboo shoot nutrients |
Following plum, strawberry, and chestnut, this time it’s bamboo shoots. The series is structured to introduce fruit- and vegetable-themed Kobito one after another.
About two and a half weeks remain in the towel giveaway period, which runs through May 12. The Kobito Zukan collaboration overall runs through June 30.
Editor's Note
A Kobito that eats bamboo shoot nutrients — its ecology is bizarrely unique. Matsuya's official Kobito encyclopedia is really committing to the plant theme.
