i think?

Name: Kai [is her given name. i mean she named herself, that. i mean she did not name herself "that" i mean agh, you know what i mean. her real name is unknown.]
Birthdate: August 18
physical age: 14
real age: unknown but it is possible that she is a somewhere a thousand years old.. or maybe even more.
Blood type: A
Height: 147 cm
Weight: 44 kg
i know this isn't necessary but... here's a back story:
so as you can see on the birth date, there is no year. that's because her birth year is unknown. But she is believed to be present around the Edo era. Actually, not just "believed to be" but she literally was around that time. She's immortal. She was alive before the whole taiko culture even started. She was the one who started taiko. She created it by banging stuff. So the idea of hitting/tapping things came from her. Long before the creation of taiko, at a very young age, she was the head of festivals and celebrations. But unfortunately, she was murdered by her father just because she played with firecrackers inside their house. So first, her father trapped her inside a barrel-shaped carved wood made from Japanese zelkova tree for 2 days. Naturally, you'd want to escape so you'd tap and move around so somebody can hear. That's what she did. She was amused with the tapping sounds. A whole day and for the whole night, she tapped and banged in a rhythmic way until her father grew mad and was irritated with the noise. Although, their neighbors heard the rhythmic sounds, they did not bother because they thought they were having some kind of party. Their neighbors were also amused with the magnificent sound. Well, since her father was pissed off(and drunk), he then murdered his daughter. She did not make a sound. She was asleep by that time. Then she was buried. It was a very sad funeral, everyone was sad. Nobody even knew what happened to her(people weren't very in to investigating stuff). They only knew that she ate some random herb at a wild garden and was poisoned. Very sad. What an evil dad. Although Greek culture has nothing to do with the Japanese culture, Dionysus, god of festivals, heard Kai's cry(more like beat... it was that loud to be heard?). He responded late. So, Kai was in the heavens and was approached by Dionysus. They did some chit-chat.. for 12 years. And after 12 years, he resurrected Kai and fixed her zombie body into a healthy human body. So hooray she's alive again and made immortal by Zeus. They had some talk okay, too much details if i have to explain why they made her immortal. So, there you go. She's immortal now. She became the spirit of the daiko. So, when people play or perform using taiko drums in a certain event.. i mean imagine that you're a watching a performance with taiko drums(not watching someone play taiko no tatsujin in an arcade, okay?) you'll fee some kind of "feeling". it's indescribable, but you'll feel something. That's Kai. She is the essence of taiko.

personality:
Kai is very multi-talented
She can pretty much do anything
unpredictable mood swings/ very bipolar
easily becomes irritated(so please don't piss her off)
either hyper or gloomy as heck.
very caring towards other people
will put you first, she'll put herself last
never gonna give you up
never gonna let you down
never gonna run around
or desert you.
a true friend.
likes to amaze people
likes to be praised by people
will love you passionately
(it's starting to look like a dating site bio)
introvert cutie
loving
makes mature humor
laughs at shallow, corny jokes
stays up late
she looks like she's acting childish but her mind is a lot more mature than you think. not in a sexual way though. you know she's been living on this earth for centuries so a lot of experience cha-ching
creative

hobbies:
well OBVIOUSLY besides tapping or playing taiko..
paints
composes music
play with pets
watch films
play sports
fencing
riding bikes
skiing

oh yeah just an additional note. She doesn't look very ancient or something like that because she stayed in a 14 year old body when she was turned immortal. She casually changes her name. She has also adapted with todays's generation that's why she looks uhh normal? i guess.. like a normal kid. Oh yeah, her hair changes from cold colors to warm colors in goddess mode and wears a proper attire for taiko(hachimaki, happi, tabi, etc.)

wish i had a graphic tablet to draw digitally.

Credits to Confuse-Ask for staying up just to help me with some information cos i have no net and also for uploading the pictures cos it won't work on mine. I'm really sorry for waking you up. Thank you.

if you read all this waw thanks cos i realized how long this is.

One hour left. Probably one of the last guys, but here we are. lol
Anny and I collaborated in this event. I made the concept while she realized it to spare you guys of my poor drawing skills.


2000x3337 Version
Concept on paper

SPOILER


Some drafts we had:


More to taiko's color aligned:

Character

Name: 大子(=Daiko; Big / Great Child)
Sex: Male (Two male and two female mascots in osu!)
Date of birth: 07.06.1005 (765 -> Namco)
Age: Could be even more, he is afterall an Oni.
Bloodtype: 0
Hight: ~165cm
Weight: ~60kg


Concept / Idea

We tried to represent the insturment Taiko itself, which is followed by the japanese traditions but making it somehow fit into the art concept of the current mascots osu! has. Considering Taiko being the second oldest game after beatmania, yet still being a very colorful festival-like game mode, we designed a character with a young looking appereance but high age to represent these two infromation.

The character is half-human half-demon(=Oni, 鬼). The horns and humanoid appereance relieve this. Not only is he an Oni because the highest difficulty in Taiko is called like that, but also because Taiko requieres some kind of strenght and endurance to play which a demon clearly has. The light defined muscles of the character should indicate that as well. The haircolor is red and rather sharp shaped to represent a hot-blooded nature of this character which fits perfectly to an Oni and the insturment Taiko itself. Continuing with the traditions, we are using a Kimono-like clothing which is often weared by taiko-drummers. We gave our best to make it somehow aligne to the other mascots design, even though it might underline a more festal-like kimono at the end. The kimono is hold by a bandage which got laced together by ropes. As for accessoirs, we were also planing a little drum and a Sake bottle on hight of the characters hips to show one more time the maturity but also... because Onis just like to drink(lol).

Some insight information:
  1. We called the character Daiko because the name and signs are similar to Taiko and because his appereance is child/teenager like. In short: A big kid.
  2. Birthday is the June 07th 1005 which would be written 07/06/05 - 765(=Namco), the magic number in Taiko (too many puns?).
  3. Male because in this way we have two female and two male mascots in osu!.
Information about drums in general
Taiko is a mode which represents a very strong instrument; the drum. It is loud and powerful and normally in use for giving the baseline of a song. As they are very loud and straightforward, we based our character on that.


Once again, Anny and I collaborated in this event.

NOICE!! looks radical!
KonkoJoy
Hi everyone! Here's my entry for this contest♥

Name: Taikon
Meaning: Taiko and Kon (Kon is the japanese sound of foxes)
General concept:
I wanted to create a girl with japanese characteristics, this includes the form of a foxgirl, because as you may know, kitsune are so important in japanese folklore. I designed her clothes to be traditional but also cute. She has a hairpin on her head, resembling the face that we identify from Taiko.
About Taikon:
Some people say she is over 1000 years old, but nobody knows the right answer. She loves to play taiko in her free time, but lives in a shrine taking care of the foxy creatures that are there. Her favorite food is Ramen, and likes to be petted a lot. She may be kind, even though sometimes she gets angry when failing a note while playing Taiko. She is too perfectionist.

Name: Hanako (花子)
Age: 15
Blood type: AB
Birthday: March 13th
Height: 155cm
Weight: 45kg
Likes/interests: music, literature, arcades, video games, flowers and nature in general
Favorite color: green
Favorite food: strawberries
Hobbies: playing taiko, video games, dancing, writing, reading
Personality: friendly, outgoing, cheerful, optimistic


trivia
-her name means "flower child"
-the buttons on her pants are don and katsu notes, they were a present from the owner of the arcade she regularly visits
-her scarf is supposed to be the same as pippidon's (I hope that's alright?)
-the Don pin on her jacket changes its facial expression, depending on Hanako's mood (I initially wanted to include sketches of that but i started too late with everything else :'))
-her name is written in Kanji on the drum sticks she uses
-the gloves glow whenever whenever she plays taiko

Hanako grew up in a rural area near Kyoto, Japan. Since the tradition of playing taiko had always meant a lot to her family, she was taught how to play at a very early age and really enjoyed it. However, when she started going to school she was expected to do well, which resulted in her having less spare time. Time passed and she more or less forgot about it because other things in her life took a higher priority.

When Hanako was about 13 years, old she and her parents moved to Tokyo as her father had to go there for work. In her first month living there, Hanako got lost on her way home from school and ended up in an unknown side street. She decided to look for a public building to ask for the directions. The building she entered turned out to be an arcade. Hanako became interested and tried some games for fun instead of going home. That's where she encountered the arcade version of osu!taiko. The game made her think of her forgotten hobby again and inspired her to start playing taiko again.


I know it's really weird and messy but I procrastinated till the end and only had like two days left to finish this. So sorry for any grammar errors etc.
