Nine versions of this model were created in collaboration with the Marui Company. The Marui Co., Ltd. (株式会社丸井, Kabushiki-gaisha Marui) is a Japanese retail company operating a chain of department stores in Tokyo as well in other major Japanese cities. They are best known for their women’s fashion and accessories. The figures were sold for a limited time at the Yotsuba Danboard Store @ Marui City Shibuya and at the winter Wonder Festival in 2015.
The department store’s logo is a symbol resembling “○I○I”, and read “marui”. The Japanese symbol “○” (not to be confused with the Latin letter “O” or “o”) is read “maru”, meaning “circle” or “zero”. The symbol “I” ostensibly represents the numeral “1”, which can be read “i” in Japanese (note that the Latin letter “I” is also the romanised representation of the Japanese hiragana “い”).
