In July, the number “7 inches 7 minutes” was often used for the dimensions of geta, and on the 22nd, it was established because the footprints look like “22” when walking with geta.
Geta, traditional Japanese footwear, is also used by characters such as anime. The sound of clogs appears with a bang, wearing clogs for training, and wearing them with a kimono on Halle’s day.
Anime there! Animation! Then, we conducted a reader survey entitled “What is a” geta “character?” We received responses from 392 people during the survey period from July 5th to July 11th.
The male-female ratio is almost the same. About 55% of the age group was 19 or younger, and about 25% were in their 20s.
The theme song of “Kitaro” is also impressive at the top!
Kitaro from “GeGeGe no Kitaro”. The approval rating was about 25 percent.
“It’s cool to defeat youkai one after another with remote control clogs. I used to fly shoes in parks and schools to imitate” and “The image of the ED theme” Karancolon no Uta “played in many series is intense. Many readers touched on the remote control clogs, weapons for advancing toward the enemy, and the theme songs that have been used for many years.
“GeGeGe no Kitaro” was made into a TV animation in 1968. From 2018 to 2020, the sixth season of TV animation was broadcast, and some young readers said, “I learned about geta footwear in’GeGeGe no Kitaro’.” The main character of the national series became the top.
Kankichi Ryotsu from “Kameari Koenmae Police Station in Katsushika Ward.” The approval rating was about 12 percent.
To be precise, they use wooden sandals instead of clogs, but “I remember that every time I walked, there was a sound effect of Karan Karan.” Comments such as “I like it because it has a peculiar downtown feeling” and “It is amazing to catch the criminal at a tremendous speed even though it is such a difficult footwear to run.” The fact that the stage is downtown is also a reason for the image of geta.
Kisuke Urahara of “BLEACH.” The approval rating was about 7 percent.
Kisuke Urahara is the owner of a candy store, Urahara Shoten. “The unusual design of hats and clogs is a trademark. On the contrary, the fashion that doesn’t care about the eyes is wonderful!” And “The combination of clogs and hats matches Mr. Urahara’s mysterious atmosphere! The original painting exhibition of “BLEACH Millennium Blood Battle,” which started in October, is also expected to be exciting. “
“Gintama,” Tatsuma Sakamoto said, “I’m tall, but I’m wearing more clogs! The mismatch that the footwear is always clogged, even though I’m the president of a trading company that crosses the ocean in space and wears sunglasses, is interesting.”
“Princess Mononoke,” Jiko-bo said, “The appearance of sitting dexterously with one-legged high clogs, eating rice, and jumping on the riverbank stones made me feel that this guy was not an ordinary person.”
“The Prince of Tennis” Chitose Chisato says, “I love the physical strength to wear iron clogs weighing 6 kg on one side, the free-spirited and simple personality, the tall and handsome looks, and the like Kumamoto dialect.”
“Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-” Now the sword says, “I call myself a tengu, and I have a sense of balance that flies around with a pair of clogs. The appearance of running through with Babune is cute.” There was also a vote in the series that “Ranbu -Hanamaru-” ~ Tsukinomaki ~ “is being released.
In this survey, not only clogs but also characters who prefer Japanese-style footwear such as setta are conspicuous.
