The figure is based on Makoto-chan, the iconic protagonist of the eponymous gag manga by Kazuo Umezu, who is considered the god of horror manga. First published in 1976, Makoto-chan became one of Umezu's biggest commercial successes and made him a superstar in Japanese pop culture. The series follows kindergarten-aged Makoto Sawada through absurd, humorous adventures full of toilet humor and bizarre situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe design of this Bearbricks masterfully captures the character's distinctive look. The white head reveals Makoto's iconic face with large, round eyes, conveying a naive yet mischievous expression. The black, frayed pageboy hairstyle with its distinctive straight bangs is instantly recognizable. Particularly striking is the wide-open mouth with the green drop hanging from the nose, a typical trademark of the character, symbolizing childlike insouciance. Pink cheeks add additional cuteness to the face. The light blue torso showcases Makoto's clothing, with a printed shirt collar, buttons, and a white shield with Japanese characters. The skin-colored arms and hands, as well as the black pants with bare, skin-colored legs and brown shoes, complete the authentic representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eKazuo Umezu, born in 1936, revolutionized the horror genre with works like The Drifting Classroom and Reptilia before taking a completely different direction with Makoto-chan. The series influenced an entire generation with the iconic Guwashi hand sign, in which the thumb, index, and ring fingers remain extended while the middle and little fingers are folded in. Even Rumiko Takahashi, creator of Inuyasha and Ranma 1\/2, worked as an assistant on Makoto-chan. With this Bearbrick, you bring home a piece of Japanese manga history that embodies the transition from dark horror to anarchic humor by one of manga's most important artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925956493578,"sku":"B@S3814","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-38-artist-makoto-chan-100-herstellerbild.webp?v=1760199098","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.de\/en\/products\/bearbrick-series-38-artist-makoto-chan-100","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
