“Our wife is a Moe Character”, says the Governor!
Mr. Tasso Takuya, Governor of Iwate Prefecture have a Moe girl in his office…He calls this girl, our wife…But there is a catch…She is just a fictional character, but this wife as He calls her is destined to promote the local railway of Iwate.
Recently, on November 1st, there was a celebration called “National Tetsudou Musume Summit” held by Sanriku Railway.
Tetsudou Musume is a character series representing Japanese local railways. Figures of the Moe characters in the motorman uniforms have been released since 2005 and they got novel and manga adaptations. PR staff of the local railways gathered in the summit and had workshops such as “Kawaii Saves The Local Industry”.
It seems the idea of using one of the fictional characters featured in Tetsudou Musume, Kuji Alice, was appropiate for the Governor to promote the local railway of Iwate. Governor Tasso revealed that he has her poster in his office and said “Kuji Alice is our wife (Uchi no Yome)”.
