About "Snow Miku" https://snowmiku.com/
Art by KEI
A "character supporting Hokkaido" developed by Crypton Future Media, Inc. It was born when a "pure white snow sculpture of Hatsune Miku" was made at the Sapporo Snow Festival in 2010. Since then, the "SNOW MIKU" festival, starring Snow Miku, has been held every year in Hokkaido. The costume design for Snow Miku at the festival is chosen based on a theme each year, and the theme for 2025 has been decided as "Sparkling Snow Material." Currently, she serves as an ambassador for various initiatives to promote Hokkaido, and is expanding her support in many areas, such as collaborating with companies and characters. She will also be working as a Sapporo Tourism Ambassador from September 2024.
