About the Creator
δΈεγ΅γγ (Futago Kamikita) are twin Japanese manga artists and character designers, Jitsuna and Kizuna Kamikita, born in 1960 in KΕchi Prefecture[1]. They are best known internationally for creating manga adaptations of the Pretty Cure franchise, one of Japan's most popular magical girl series[1]. The twins work collaboratively under their shared pseudonym and have built a significant following in the manga and anime community[1].
What's This About?
This is a New Year's greeting post from the Kamikita twins to their followers on X (formerly Twitter) for 2026. The post uses traditional Japanese New Year imagery (ζΎη«Ήζ’ - pine, bamboo, and plum motifs) combined with English 'Happy New Year' to reach both Japanese and international audiences[1]. The message 'May this year be a good one for everyone' and 'Thank you again for your support this year' reflects the customary Japanese New Year tradition of expressing gratitude and well-wishes. The colorful heart emojis (pink, blue, purple, white, black) add a festive, vibrant tone consistent with their Pretty Cure character design work.
π₯Why It's Trending
This content is trending on January 1, 2026, as it coincides with New Year's Day, one of the most significant cultural celebrations in Japan and globally. Greetings and well-wishes from popular creators are particularly popular during this period, and the Kamikita twins' substantial fanbase engaging with their New Year message amplifies its visibility. The bilingual nature of the post (Japanese with English) also appeals to international Pretty Cure fans during a peak time for year-start social media engagement.
