The Symbol of Diversity - Hoppē-chan

Since its debut in 2010, Hoppē-chan has captured hearts with its unique design characterized by a “piped-out” style, originating from the sweets decorating trend. With its various designs regarded as “one-of-a-kind characters,” it has established itself as a favorite among teenage girls, especially during social media’s early days. Today, it is undergoing a rebranding process, embracing its status as a representation of diversity in the Reiwa era, and an exciting anime adaptation is set to premiere in January 2026 as Hoppē-chan celebrates its 16th anniversary on May 5, 2026.
