Mascots for several of Sega's premier Joypolis locations. I believe these wonderful character designs are by artist Satoshi Okano (岡野聡) but I'm not certain.

@okanotion is this your work?

@orca_earth_md Woah! Awesome! I was not expecting to see Sonic Retro. Glad you are enjoying the site. We are working on improving the disassembly's accessibility in the future.

@okawariida Heyyy excellent work dude! It's so reassuring seeing such active preservation from individuals like yourself. You must have so many cool stories, as well as a fascinating perspective on domestic preservation.

Thank you very much for your hard work.

He looks so cute.

@taitodenshadego @Taito_Asahi The pastel colors and minimal design gives this a dreamlike quality. What a special time.

Thank you for sharing.

@KenPenders Gosh my mistake, sorry Ken!

I wasn't sure on the source of these last night but it appears they were originally limited edition CES 1994 giveaways. Sega must have had some additional inventory when they sent you your copies. Neat!

Whoops! Still very cool to see.

@Otavioluigi42 Those eyes are so good. Excellent work dude.

[Ash @dvs_ash]

@judy_totoya @yoshinokentarou Brenda and Craig speak highly of you. Craig in particular says, "Yamaguchi was incredible. He's someone I'd enjoy working with again. He was a machine." Everyone has kind words.

Thank you for enriching an entire generation with your hard work, Yamaguchi-san.

[Ash @dvs_ash]

@judy_totoya @yoshinokentarou @judy_totoya Wow! Thank you for the information Yamaguchi-san. I just now updated the Dark Empires article+credits on Sega Retro and Hidden Palace.
