November 27th is the birthday of Izumi Tachikawa, a "Tetsudou-musume" character from Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail.
Since her debut, I have liked to collect her goods, draw fun art, and photograph her cut-outs.
I feel an affinity with her because of the same zodiac sign, Sagittarius.
I want to introduce her again.
She debuted in 2010. The design change of station staff and train driver's uniform on Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail in 2009 led to her debut.
She was named after Tachikawa-kita [Tachikawa Station North] Station and Izumi-taiikukan [Tachikawa City Izumi Gymnasium] Station.
She loves Tachikawa City because she was born there and grew up there.
She is good at flexibility and is loved by children. When she finds stray children, she listens to what they say in their shoes.
She has a sister-like friendship with her senior colleague, Saki Manganji. While working, she supports Saki. During the break time, the two like to eat convenience-store confectionary.
On holidays, she likes to play badminton and go shopping. Recently, she also sometimes goes to Tama Zoological Park with Saki.
One of her friends works at another railway company, and she meets her friend at Tamagawa-josui Station.
Since her debut, her cut-outs and some posters featuring her have been shown and some goods, such as a one-day unlimited ticket, have been produced. However, the production of her new goods stopped around 2012. I had been disappointed at the production stoppage of her new goods.
In 2022, the production restarted. A rubber charm and aluminium button badge newly appeared. In the same year, a white-coloured 1102F set on Tokyo Tama Intercity Monorail Line showed front signs with her illustrations.
In 2023, her new official illustration wearing a summer uniform appeared. In 2024, her new goods keep producing.
I want to show you some of my favourite goods, a one-day unlimited ticket, a rubber charm, and a plastic folder.
