Besides the character of Marisa Kirisame, another sub-mascot, the female characters by the names of Ami, Nami and Mami appear alongside Hatsune Miku as shop representatives. The three students, animated characters designed by the company’s in-house artist Honda, come each with characteristics linked to the shop departments.
