Meet Kofun!
🎨Designed by: Ikumi Nakamura & Mai Mattori
🎨Rendered by: Inko Ai Takita
🎨3D by: Rachel Noy
Kofun is a fiercely clever mascot shaped like a burial mound that is fighting to keep the rich history of Kaso-Machi alive. She really wanted to use her status as a mascot to promote the rich history of Kaso-Machi beyond the town, but since budget cuts from town hall, she’s been left without a job or any income.
As a spirit medium, she can hear the unhappiness of the spirits that come to town without being greeted properly which makes her very sad. She still lovingly tends to the cemetery by herself, and is trying to convince people to come back for the Obon festival to pay respect to the ancient history of her beloved town.
Developer Notes:
Kofun was a very early design from Nakamura-san and Mattori-san. We picked her immediately as she fits our theme of abandonment and forgetting history perfectly.
