More About Kechakenmi Character
The two gods who have to give up much because they are parents can not spread both wings. Contrary to the situation where you can empathize and laugh together, the blunt color represents the dark feelings of parents. This story is for all parents in this age who have to give up much for their families.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The Gods who conqure the universe come to the earth to share the happiness, let me introduce the Character, "KECHAKENMI FRIENDS" who would like to share the various emotionts with human being. It's a very ordinary story of the gods who live in human form. You are in for an unprecedented treat! Without any pretense, you will be happy to see these ridiculous gods.
- Inspiration
- All the feelings that I have every day inspire designs. The emotions materialized in the feelings are expressed in images. Daddy's Diary tried to express the various feelings I felt in the biggest project of my life, parenting.
- Research
- Everyone has a comic expression of a common story. In addition, listening to the true meaning contained in each story and releasing it together is the core of this work.
- Challenge
- It was the hardest part to get sympathy with various people with a single content and convey happy feelings. So, We tried to reduce the physical presence of God and think about ways to integrate naturally with us, and separated various situations created by such diverse ideas into individual contents to create a fragmentary story. The first is the keyword "delivering happiness" and the existence of "parent."
- Realization and Technology
- My work, which started from the idea that everyone in the world is my true friend, wanted not to be a pretty design drawn on paper, but to be a cultural phenomenon and icon that tied the world to a value of happiness. We will strive to create new values that we have never seen before in the cultural contents industry.
- Operation and Interaction
- I want to empathize with open mind and laugh. I will also wait for you to tell me your story.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in February 1998 in South Korea and finished in South Korea 2016, and was exhibited in Korea Character Licensing Fair. in July 2016.
