About Megumi
Megumi has been the mascot character of J-List since 1998, two years after the start of J-List. She was designed to personify our website with an image that is synonimous with Japanese anime and otaku culture, a 美少女高校生 (bi-shou-jyou kou-kou-sei).
Bio
Name: Megumi
Japanese Name: めぐみ
Birthday: October 1st
Height: 157cm
Age: 17
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Food: Chocolate
Background: Megumi is a 3rd year student at North Kanto High School. Friendly, funny and a little too energetic, she’s never had trouble making new friends, unlike her unncanny ability to fail tests. She keeps a small box of chocolates in her school bag for “emergencies,” as she calls them.
While most of her friends participate in after-school activities, she works a part-time job at an online shop preparing orders. In her spare time she likes to do cosplay with her friends. While she won’t admit it, she’s often picks up new hobbies and drops them equally as quick.
