TikTok-famous rabbit mascot character あさみみちゃん Asamimichan is getting her first concept cafe in the Year of the Rabbit 2023!

LTR Corporation, a subsidiary of CL Holdings, Inc., will open the "First Doki Doki Café" in Shibuya, Tokyo, for a limited time from February 2nd to March 26th, 2023. Its concept is "a café where Asamimichan will be there for customers and provide them with hospitality."

According to her character bio, 25-year-old office employee Asamimichan successfully passed a challenging audition process to join the character talent agency Simple Side Mascots (Simas). She aims to be Japan's No. 1 mascot character. Asamimi-chan is a cuddly rabbit who wants to stay by your side and support you! While she loves the way you "think deeply" about things as you navigate life and all its challenges, she also hopes you'll "think shallow" once in a while. That's why her slogan is "Don't Deep [sic]"

She has 4 million followers on her TikTok account, with over 200 adorable animated shorts which have been viewed more than 200 million times in total. Here's one of them:
