Question from a reader:
Is it correct to understand that the passing of the team staff who supported Tsubakuro means that the person inside Tsubakuro has also passed away? I’m curious about this.
Tsubakuro and the People Behind Him
I recently learned about Tsubakuro and the news that a team staff member has passed away. Honestly, it’s heartbreaking. In response to
the question of whether it means the person inside Tsubakuro has also passed, I believe that’s the case. Given how loved Tsubakuro is as a character, it’s clear that the person behind him was also a part of Tsubakuro.
Memorable Flip Art
Tsubakuro’s flip art was truly unique, and I always enjoyed it. When I went to the stadium, it was impressive to see how the surrounding fans would smile the moment Tsubakuro appeared. Personally, I remember the first time I saw Tsubakuro; I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw him holding a flip and acting silly. That moment is still vivid in my memory. However, I do wonder about the future of the second generation. It’s hard to find someone who can perfectly replicate Tsubakuro’s flip art, and even if someone could, it’s easy to imagine people saying, “The previous one would have done it this way.” So, the team likely faces a dilemma about whether to continue with Tsubakuro or create a new character.
The Meaning of Mourning
When I heard the news about the activity suspension, I thought it probably also signifies a time of mourning. Tsubakuro was loved by many, and his influence is immeasurable. As a fan, I’d like to take some action in response to this news. For example, I might go to the stadium to share memories of Tsubakuro or send messages directed at him. If you’re reading this blog and have memories or stories related to Tsubakuro, I’d love for you to share them. Whether it’s your favorite moments or special memories with Tsubakuro, anything is welcome. I’ll be waiting for your comments!
