Hiiragi family becomes officially registered as residents of Washimiya city
Yomiuri news reports that the Hiiragi family from Lucky Star have now been registered as residents of Washimiya city. They’ll also be selling the specially designed Hiiragi family certificate of residence at 300 yen each starting from the 7th of April.

This is it…. Lucky Star is the official anime of Washimiya City. Or, rather, the Hiiragi’s are the official mascots of the area. Or, maybe not, but something akin to that effect.
I’d like to see how this develops a year or two from now. If they don’t forget it, or if they can sustain this, I’d be truly impressed.

Interestingly, from the news article, other two anime that got the same treatment from Saitama-ken are Tetsuwan Atomu and Crayon Shin-chan. I wonder if other towns and prefectures do the same as well.

So is it easier to be a Japanese resident if you’re a famous fictional character?

It sucks that the only way to get the Washimiya official LS stuff, like that certificate, is to go to Washimiya :S.
