The character of the Hamakaze
The Kamome "Yume" and "Sora" drawn on the car are characters born in 1988 (Showa 63) with the production of Makaze No. 2 (3rd generation). Names were recruited from citizens in 2010 (Heisei 22) commemorating the 40th anniversary of the mobile library. The illustrations we are currently using have been renewed in accordance with the production of Hamakaze No. 2 (5th generation).
