# sakimyto Character Brand Guide

## Identity

sakimyto character is a small white mochi-like mascot for B2B AI, management information, streaming, video, and web/game interfaces. It should feel friendly, quiet, and a little inorganic without becoming human.

- No permanent mouth.
- Large navy ring eyes with dark centers.
- Short feet.
- Short side flaps that read as hands or ears.
- Dark navy outline.
- Soft lavender shadow or accent.

## Do

- Express emotion through eye size, body tilt, flaps, bounce, and squash/stretch.
- Keep the silhouette low, round, and compact.
- Use transparent PNG/WebM for overlays.
- Use the dark navy outline when the character appears on light backgrounds.
- Credit commercial use as `Character asset: sakimyto`.

## Don't

- Do not add a permanent mouth.
- Do not make the body tall like a human.
- Do not make the eyes small.
- Do not imply the character is speaking as sakimyto.
- Do not resell the raw assets or substantially identical asset packs.
