Photo?

I have a photograph I took of an American body pillow fitted with a dakimakura cover depicting one of the characters in the bishōjo game Little Busters!. I think this is a considered derivative work but I do feel it could help this article not only by showing a dakimakura (which a free picture can do if anyone has one, please upload it) but by also showing what style of illustrations are printed on them and showing how companies use these as promotional materials by giving them out as preorder bonuses or magazine gifts (as this one was). I don't think this second point can be easily illustrated by a free image. Can someone advise me on if I ought to upload this photo to wikipedia for the time being and tell me what fair use tag it would need? Thank you. Jyuichi 22:31, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a few years since Jyuichi posted this, but we could really use something better then the current 3D image. Is there anyone out there with a Dakimakura that is willing to upload a photo? HarmlessKitten (talk) 11:00, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody needs to make a Wikipe-tan dakimakura cover. Just for this article. Lumpio- (talk) 18:49, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

file:dakimakura.jpg

Should this article use this image? 97.7.xx keeps removing it with some weird undescriptive edit summary, which then gets reverted by many other users. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 08:18, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a free image on commons: File:Dakimakura.png. I have deleted the above image as it can no longer meet the criteria for fair use. I have put the free file into the article. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 08:38, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There was another replacement by commons:File:Taneshima Popura Dakimakura.jpg which was also subsequently deleted. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 04:05, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

photos of real dakimakura

Flickr has some nice CC-licenced photos of dakimakura[1]. In particular I like the skydiving ones[2] since they show the dakimakura in proportion to a person. I would add one but I'm not sure whether there is a copyright problem due to showing an anime character (some photos obscure the anime character fairly well and might be okay...). --Nanite (talk) 14:07, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

maybe we can find a dakimakura of wikipe-tan 37.74.28.107 (talk) 07:48, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wired article?

That link to the Wired article is dead. Any chance we can find a more permanent link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.120.22 (talk) 22:55, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
