This photo is the “unofficial” linear fairy named “Linney Kun”. It is derived from the currently popular character that was created to attract a linear motor car (an advanced technology of Shinkansen service to Nara).
“Linney kun” also appeared in Nara Linear Promotion Division of Summer events! You have the “Linney kun” photo without any explanation in the text…
On August 12, at the Kintetsu Department Store in Kashihara City was a “Summer Vacation Child Expo” with a description of “About Linear” by the store staff. Thank you! #Nara # railway pic.twitter.com/fG1XCbrn2Y

Seems there was a positive reaction in Twitter, “Linney kun” gained a lot of positive PR.
Because it was echoed on Twitter, the reason for jump in appearances in the Kintetsu Department Store in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture was a “non-official character named “Linney kun”! #Nara # railway pic.twitter.com/YP5LwqYmOX

Wow, it was played up on TV! The Linear fairy was unusual to say the least…
Nippon Television broadcast “Monday stays up late at night” on August 17, the new linear station attracted Nara Mayor Gen & the unofficial character Linney kun also appeared! # Monday stays up late at night #Nara Pic.Twitter.Com/aRmntBF2nQ

“Linney kun” is quite strange but has become quite popular and a very effective and unofficial sponsor on the future of success!!
