ちぃたん／Chiitan

Chiitan☆ is the official website for a lively character inspired by a real Asian small-clawed otter. Presented as an ageless fairy from Akihabara, Chiitan☆ is an official character of the Akihabara Tourism Promotion Association and is also active as a YouTuber. Energetic challenge videos shared on social media have made the character widely known. Chiitan☆ has also been featured as a dedicated model for Popteen, Koakuma Ageha and Smart, and served as a special supporter for Yahoo! Japan’s DO_ACTIONS.

The website introduces Chiitan☆’s profile and schedule, shares social media links, and provides information about goods and character-themed digital items, including LINE stickers, emoji and themes. Fans can find guidance for sending Chiitan☆ toys and stuffed animals; the site notes that gifts for staff are not accepted and that fan letters generally do not receive replies. It also features Koban-chan, a rescued cat, and invites visitors to support the cat’s veterinary care by watching Chiitan☆’s YouTube channel. Additional sections introduce Chiitan☆’s companion, Kame-chan, and regional Chiitan☆ pages across Japan.
