Nitroplus mascot Super Sonico celebrated her 10th Anniversary in Japan this week with several announcements and a special website.

In her first decade of representing the successful video game company, Super Sonico has been portrayed as a fashion model, university student, and aspiring musician (with her band FAV – First Astronomical Velocity). The theme of her 10th anniversary is “Now I’ll become an adult”, and the mascot has revealed a massive list of imagery and products highlighting her newfound maturity.

New additions to her popular series of 3D display figures have been announced for 2017, including a special “10th Anniversary Birthday” figure (designed by Tsuji Santa), a black-costumed figure based on T.M. Revolution’s “Hot Limit” music video, a “Wet Photo Session” figure based on artwork from her top-selling dakimakura (“love pillow”), and a “Wedding Super Sonico” figure, based on the 10th Anniversary website’s key image of Super Sonico in a revealing bridal gown.

The reveal of Sonico’s wedding pose has caused amazement among fans, especially since the wedding ring has yet to be explained. Nitroplus promises more information and announcements are forthcoming during the 10th anniversary year-long celebration.

Nitroplus has also re-released several limited edition holiday- and FAV-themed wallpapers on Super Sonico’s website (through Oct. 31), plus announced a new Blu-Ray box set of the “Soni-Ani” animation series with special artwork by Tsuji Santa. Last week, Nitroplus held a Super Sonico cosplay contest, where the winner was awarded special prizes based on matching Sonico’s appearance and movements, and the company sponsored a special program on Nico Nico Douga, demonstrating Tsuji Santa’s technique drawing Sonico.
