This week we will be talking about a good chunk of the San-x characters. Their history, what they mean and where they come from. As well as discuss the history of the company that makes them, how they create these characters and why. I find the characters that this company creates are mildly subversive when you compare them to the tried, true and staid competitor Sanrio. It’s like a demented Hello Kitty world of backwards stuff that all has a sweet message to it. Like the chesnut that begs you to peel his skin and eat him, or the family of cheese, or the character that is literally a box of tissues. Here are some of my favourites……..

Afro Ken: He is a dog, with an afro, that changes colour and shape depending what he’s standing next to.

Buru Buru Dog: Initially I thought this dog was beaten and abused but actually, “It’s tender tears and sad trembling are so sweet that people want to protect it.”

Mamegoma: Seals so cute, you Want to beat them. No really, I’m a lover not a fighter, but those seals beg to be clubbed. Check out this site for more Mamegoma. http://cupped-expressions.net/mamegoma/info-diaries.php
