Created by Danny Choo back in 2007, Mirai Suenaga (pronounced "mee-rai soo-eh-na -gah") is the mascot character for Culture Japan and heroine for the story Mirai Millennium.
Originally created with the purpose to prettify the website “dannychoo.com," Mirai ended up turning out to be more than a website mascot and went on to collaborate with various anime and game companies such as Square Enix, Good Smile Company, Bushiroad, Ascii Media Works, King Records, Nitroplus and Isetan.
Mirai Suenaga
Forever Sweet 17
In 2013, Mirai became an official mascot for Japan Tourism and in 2014 she became an official mascot for Malaysia Tourism.
In February 2015, Mirai participate with me in the Japan Cabinet's Cool Japan Strategy Committee.
In April 2015, Mirai starred in her first live action drama doS Deka (Tabe Mikako, Yoshida Yo) which was broadcast on NTV in Japan. This first episode reached a record high 12.7% viewership across Japan.
And this is Mirai in her Smart Doll form which is available now.

Mirai in her Solar Marine Uniform. Do note that her hair clip is only on the left side of her head.
Here are Mirai's Biostream Boots. Do note that they both have slightly different designs towards the top.
As for Mirai's Millennium Blade - the blade is projected into its shape from the jewel ball object that appears when the blade is held by Mirai. Folks posing with the blade should not hold the blade like how you would not hold the blade of a lightsaber ^^
