Where Have You Seen This Googly Eyed Creature Before?

only last Wednesday,


if you read this post, above is a bakers representation of the upcoming 2025 Osaka Expo logo, by Kenta Matsunaga, who runs a bakery in Tokyo called Boulangerie BASSE, who created this baked bread version of the logo,

this from Naoki Saito, who is an official Pokemon Card illustrator, who created this takoyaki-themed illustration, the public quickly warmed to Inochi no Kagayaki-chan, an endearing nickname borrowed from the Expo’s theme, and opened their arms to it. From illustrators and bakers to knitters, remix culture quickly set in and social media has been buzzing with creations,

and here are a few more, this showing Expo 1970 meets Expo 2025 in this illustration by Itotani Siren,

manga artist Tsukumizu, known for the manga series Girls’ Last Tour (少女終末旅行), created this illustration,

and finally Yoshieda Seisakujo knitted the logo, but as you can imagine by now there are literally thousands of takes on the goggled eyed logo!
