They’re not only adorable, but I think they’ll also act as a kind of talisman to help you stay true to yourself (heart). Let these fluffy, heart-shaped WINTIT girls soothe you (heart). Yumepote (Yua Kawabata)’s Profile Born on April 14, 2004, in Kyoto Prefecture. After passing a public audition, she made her modeling debut in the teen magazine “Popteen” in 2019. She was a regular on Nippon Television’s “Chou Muteki Class” and also works as a reporter on Asahi Broadcasting Corporation’s “Ohayo Asahi Desu.” After graduating from Popteen, she has been active in a wide range of fields, including as a regular model for “S Cawaii!”, variety shows, and advertisements. She has six years of experience in cheerleading (placed third in the national competition) and three years of experience in girls’ hip-hop. She is currently utilizing her exceptional sense of rhythm and athleticism to try her hand at guitar and full-scale acting. Comment from Ayumi Gunchi “A new character has been born in Japan, a land of characters. The character business is currently dominated by rival companies, and the market can be described as saturated. Among them, America seems to have a
predominance of “strong” and “sparkling” characters. Japan’s character business, on the other hand, has developed in a unique way. As a nation of anime, Japan has created a diverse character business world, with sweet and cute characters rooted in the “KAWAII” culture of girls, and slightly humorous and beloved characters, such as “Yuru-chara.” Perhaps the origin of this lies in the ancient Japanese belief that not only people and animals, but everything has life, and the idea of worshiping the eight million gods. The character that will be making its debut this time is “TERE” “TERE Chan” and “ITTY-WINTIT” are characters with a new worldview aimed at the Zα generation, focusing on “emotions” rather than strength or iconicity. “TERE TERE Chan” is a “Telebear” and “Terenyan” whose emotions are immediately apparent in their faces and gestures. “ITTY-WINTIT” is a character with a colorful heart that changes color depending on their mood. These “Made in Japan” characters are unique to Japan, the country that created the “EMOJI” culture, which translates emotions, now a universal language, into pictures.
