Super Sonico (Japanese: すーぱーそに子, Hepburn: Sūpā Soniko) is a fictional character created by Tsuji Santa for the Japanese computer and video game software company Nitroplus, first appearing as a mascot for a Nitroplus-sponsored music festival in 2006. Nitroplus has since developed the character into a media franchise that includes music products, manga series, computer and video games, toy figurines, and other merchandise. An anime television series by White Fox based on the character aired in Japan between January and March 2014.
Characters
[edit]Super Sonico
[edit]Voiced by: Ayano Yamamoto[a][1] (Japanese); Jessica Nigri[2] (English)
Super Sonico is a fictional character created by Tsuji Santa of Nitroplus. Her debut appearance was on October 14, 2006, as the mascot for Nitroplus' annual live music festival event "Nitro Super Sonico", which took place at Shiba Park in Minato-KU.[3] Nitroplus was initially focused on computer games based on visual novels, but every year since 2000, they have also held a music festival.
Sonico appears in various media as an eighteen-year-old college student. She is depicted as an attractive young woman with light peach skin, large red eyes, and straight, light pink hair. She keeps her hair long in the back and in the front. She is always shown wearing her signature headphones. Her depictions show much variation in her facial features and body proportions between the different artists, while always keeping her trademark traits: headphones, pink hair color, and large bust. She also appears as a popular gravure idol as well as the vocalist and guitarist of the fictional band First Astronomical Velocity (第一宇宙速度, Daiichi Uchū Sokudo, literally first escape velocity). Sonico also studies marine biology at Musasaka University and lives in Mushashino-shi, Tokyo. She is prone to sleep a lot, often requiring help to wake up, and her favorite foods are macarons. Her bandmates refer to her as "Nico".[4]
Associated characters
[edit]- Suzu Fujimi (富士見 鈴, Fujimi Suzu)
- Voiced by: Mai Goto (Japanese); Luci Christian[5] (English)
- The young female founder and bassist of the band First Astronomical Velocity. She has light green eyes and straight, long black hair. She is of average height and build but appears thin next to Fuuri and Sonico. She is often seen wearing a pink nurse's uniform and often attempts to dress up Sonico in dubious outfits.
- Fuuri Watanuki (綿抜 フウリ, Watanuki Fūri)
- Voiced by: Mami Ozaki (Japanese); Monica Rial (English)
- The young female drummer of the First Astronomical Velocity band. She has a full figure, violet eyes, and short, wavy brown hair. She is shy and good-natured and is usually seen either eating or sleeping when not playing in the band. She and Suzu first appeared in Nitroplus' 2010 visual novel computer game Axanael.[6]
- Manager Kitamura (北村 マネージャー, Kitamura Manējā)
- Voiced by: Ryōta Takeuchi (Japanese); David Wald[7] (English)
- Sonico's manager, a tall man with orange-yellow flame-styled hair who is always wearing a hannya mask and carrying a katana on his back under his coat. He is particularly protective of Sonico, ready to strike at anyone threatening or attempting something inappropriate with her. When not defending Sonico, he is friendly. Despite his demon mask, he is sociable, talkative, and actively seeking modeling work for Sonico, sometimes overcommitting her.
- Ouka Satsurikuin (殺戮院 鏖禍, Satsurikuin Ōka)
- Voiced by: Hisako Kanemoto (Japanese); Kira Vincent-Davis (English)
- Nitroplus' former mascot, who is seen in the Super Sonico Animation. Ouka serves as Sonico's co-worker at the modeling agency. She is a tween-age girl of short stature and slight build. She has short orange hair; her right eye color is orange; and she wears a riveted brown leather eye patch over her left eye. She wears a frilled tiara on her head, with grooved silver disks that cover her ears. She is confident, extroverted, and constantly looking for her spot in the limelight. However, she is inexperienced with handling clients, and unlike Sonico, she does not have a protective manager, so she often ends up in bad predicaments.
Toys
[edit]A popular and extensive line of PVC figurines of Super Sonico has been produced for Nitroplus by well-known toy designers, including, among many others, Max Factory, FREEing, Orchid Seed, and Hobby Japan. Figurine styles have included the highly stylized Chibi, Nendoroid, and Figma designs, in addition to the more realistic designs drawn directly from the character as she appears in games, manga, and anime. Sizes have ranged from 1/8 to 1/2 the size of the young adult woman character as she appears in the media. Action figures have also been produced.[8][9]

So the editor spends the day observing Sonico, expecting the famous model to be shallow and self-absorbed. However, she finds Sonico to be a typical college student, and her classmates are mostly unaware that Sonico is a famous model. While waiting in Sonico's bedroom, the editor finds a notebook of Sonico's compositions and comes to respect Sonico's dedication to her music, her band, and her bandmates.

In a private cabin, the ointment company's owner is confronted by one of her own staff, concerned that the product has had insufficient testing. She proceeds with the product release anyway. Ouka's roll-out presentation goes very well, with samples given to attendees who are pleased with the immediate results. That night, however, Ouka, Sonico, and her bandmates find themselves on the run from the other passengers, who have effectively become zombies from the ointment's side effects and are desperately hungry.

In the end, they find the guitar on the stage, and Sonico's fall was simply an accident.
