Icons from Akihabara’s Electric Town 83Page This special art collection features the beloved store mascots Tsukumotan from Tsukumo Denki and Rabiton from Yamada Denki—two charming characters born from Japan’s vibrant electronics retail culture. Originating in Akihabara, Tokyo’s famed “Electric Town,” these mascots have captured the hearts of fans with their playful personalities and unique designs. Tsukumotan first appeared in 2009 during a midnight product launch event and quickly became a symbol of Akihabara’s pop culture scene, transcending her role as a simple store mascot. Rabiton, introduced as her “older sister,” has long served as the cheerful face of Yamada Denki, brightening up stores and promotional campaigns across Japan. This collection includes promotional illustrations, rare concept art, and behind-the-scenes sketches that trace the evolution of these iconic characters. It’s a delightful glimpse into the intersection of Japanese pop culture, character design, and the electric energy of Akihabara. Perfect for: Character enthusiasts, illustrators, anime fans, and anyone curious about Japanese culture and design. ※Italian buyers are required to submit Codice Fiscale for customs clearance procedures.
