Mamoru-kun to the Rescue!

A bit over a year ago the North Coast of Japan was struck with The Great East Japan Earthquake killing many, and leaving many homeless, jobless, and lost. Even though it has been over a year the effects can still be felt, people still need help. CyberConnect2 has started a program to help those in need; Mamoru Reconstruction Assistance Project. Now what is this Reconstruction Assistance Project you may ask? Well in their own words:

"This is a charity aiming to support people in the 3.11 disaster area. In this project CyberConnect2 sells original illustrations on gumroad, an online e-commerce service, and donates all the profit to Japanese Red Cross Society."

If you are curious, Mamoru-Kun is a character from the Little Tail Bronx world, the same world were the Tail Concerto and SolatoRobo games take place. Mamoru-kun shows up a bit in SolatoRobo (a totally awesome game I will cover soon enough), hailing from the land of Nippon. Now beyond just being a character in a loose series of games he is also a symbol of Fire Safety (among other things) for children in the Fukuoka prefecture. You can read more about Mamoru-kun, this charity, and check out and hopefully buy some nice art at the official site.

Each wallpaper only cost 100¥ and goes to a good cause. There are plenty of cute arts to chose from as well. Any fan of SolatoRobo should be in heaven. I bought one of the wallpapers for my iPod and I really love it, [check below]. Thanks for reading, caring, and if you buy anything, thanks for helping out some people in real need.
