Kasumin
According to the ja article, A Japanese housewife 霞ん/Kasumin had to get up early for bento making and thought it was a dull, troublesome and unthanked chore. But one day she looked at bento making from a different angle and started to make kyaraben/gyakutai bento. Then on April 26, 2005 she started a blog to show her kyaraben and that ignited the kyaraben boom. The top page is this and this is her explanation in English.

 * Hi. Are there any 3rd party sources for the claim that she started the boom?  What does wp:ja use as a source?  By the way, I found her English story amusing but...I don't see anything there we can use.  --C S (talk) 00:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
