Kirimi-chan, a mascot character created by Sanrio with a salmon fillet for a head, is going to receive an anthropomorphic make-over in the near future according to information released at the Sanrio Expo 2015.

In addition to characters goods, the new designs for Kirimi-chan and Sanrio's other meat-headed mascots are planned to be used in animation projects and smart phone games, as well as a collaboration with Monster Hunter. The voice actors of Kirimi-chan's friends have also been announced. A total of 5 additional characters will be personified:

• Takuma Terashima as Saba-kun.
• Daiki Yamashita as Sasamin.
• Takuya Satou as Same-senpai.
• Nobunaga Shimazaki as Tai-kun.
• And Kenjiro Tsuda as Chateaubriand.

The Kirimi-chan character debuted in 2014 after winning a general election against various other food-based characters. Voice actor Tsubasa Yonaga provides the voice for the character.
