Sanrio launched “Fragaria Memories” on September 26, a new project that imagines ikemen (extremely handsome men) serving the company’s beloved mascots as their knights. The project aims to introduce a “new generation of authentic fantasy with human characters.”
The company has launched an official Twitter account, a website, a teaser video, and a key image introducing the first three characters.
