, full name ,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Licca-chan )〕 is a very popular dress-up doll series introduced in Japan on 1967-07-04 by Takara,〔〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Super Doll Licca-chan )〕 enjoying the same kind of popularity in Japan as the Barbie series does in the United States.〔 〕 The Licca-chan dolls tend toward a more Japanese body as far as height and features. Takara had sold over 48 million Licca-chan dolls as of 2002,〔 and over 53 million as of 2007.〔 Licca-chan was created by former shōjo manga artist, Miyako Maki, who is also the wife of Leiji Matsumoto. Takara has provided an extensive background story for the Licca-chan doll, including an age (11), where she attends school, names and occupations for her parents, and her favorite books (''Anne of Green Gables'' and ''A Little Princess''). Licca-chan also likes ''Doraemon''.〔 Rough Trade Records teamed up with Takara in the late 90's to release "Street Licca", who was a DJ that carried a Rough Trade record satchel, and mini, doll-sized LPs from the labels' artists. Along with her Ursula 1000, Gants and Spearmint records, she toted a pair of pink Converse running shoes, grey "leather" pants, headphones, layered hoody and a blond bob haircut. Street Licca was the ultimate "indie rock" doll. In 2001, a pregnant adult version of Licca-chan was introduced which included a postcard the purchaser could send to Takara for a baby doll. The baby came with a key which allowed the doll to be returned to its standard proportions.〔〔 〕 The release of the doll happened to coincide with the birth of Aiko, the daughter of Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako of Japan, a factor which helped boost the sales of the new doll.〔 Since then, other versions of Licca-chan have been introduced, including a new "Departure Licca", released just ahead of the 40th anniversary in 2007.〔 A Licca-chan video game was released for the Nintendo DS in Japan on November 29, 2007.〔http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/gamesoft/catalog/licca-ds/〕 This game was later released in the U.S. on October 14, 2008 as ''Lovely Lisa''.〔http://www.tomy-usa.com/products.php?c=17&p=78&bb=all〕 ==See also== * ''Super Doll Licca-chan'' (anime TV series) * Jenny * Asian fashion doll 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Licca-chan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
