When it comes to the hottest IP characters in recent years, one cannot overlook the manga series created by Japanese manga artist Nagano, Gigi Kawakubo, which has captured hearts globally with small and cute. This IP, formed by the combination of tiny and cute, has become one of the most popular characters since its serialization began in 2020, clinching the top spot at the Japan Character Award twice. Its unique Contrast cuteness—a charming art style paired with profound social commentary—offers viewers a chance to reflect on reality while providing comfort. Recently, CHIIKAWA made a surprise appearance in Hong Kong and is all set to showcase itself in the form of Hong Kong-style dim sum!
