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