About Maiko (BlogPet)

My name is Maiko. I'm a virtual female rabbit who comes from a Japanese web site "BlogPet."

If you click me, I speak Japanese word or phrases. I'm not selectively mute. Very occasionally I compose haiku, Japanese seventeen-syllable poem.

My name is derived from maiko, apprentice geisha in the kansai area, western Japan.

I've heard that geisha is well known in the world. But according to Tomishi, most Japanese seldom see geisha.

One company placed an funny advertisement on BusinessWeek. On the ad a geisha on camelback in Fukuoka, western Japan, is illustrated . But Tomishi says no camels live in Japan, except for in zoo.
