3030. Cranberrychan


Cranberrychan, Little Cranberry, is a girl who always holds back and is a little bit of a shy person.

San-X (サンエックス, Sanekkusu) is a Japanese company that specializes in the creation, production and marketing of goods featuring anime-style anthropomorphic characters such as Kogepan, Nyan Nyan Nyanko and Afro Ken. Characters usually relate to some aspect of Japanese culture: Tissue-san was a character developed to encourage Japanese schoolchildren to use tissues when they have a cold or flu.

The characters' personalities are well-developed, with each character having its own quirky traits. For instance, Momobuta is a pig with a head shaped like a peach, who enjoys karaoke and painting her nails. Mikanbouya is an orange who likes candy and dislikes cold weather.

San-X was founded in April 1932 as a privately-owned business under the name Chida Handler. In October 1941, Chida Handler became a limited company. Chida Handler's name was changed to San-X in May 1973.
