Unique Properties

Namito is a girl with peach-shaped lips in a red mushroom hairstyle with rabbit ear-like headgear. She stands cool in a striking red dress with her hands in her pockets. She looks relaxed with her eyes closed, seeming to be kissing "goodliness" with pouted lips. Her unique pouted lips are in the shape of two hearts/ the letter "X" (love & say no), implying loving the world while refusing the bad. "Yes, or No, That is Not a Question" is her motto. She shapes an image of a city's dream pursuer.

Dimensions & Packaging

In commercialization, Namito has adopted such carrier forms as pictures, videos, exhibitions, and printed goods.
