Puns

Hiyokoyan / Ichigoyan / Yokowan with Yokoyan

Reina is a fun girl known today in the group for her love of talking and recognized for her incredible and special sense of humor. By mixing these two things, we got the puns art! Here's some examples which are related to Reina's identity and personality.

· "Yokowan" (よこワン) / "Yokoyan" (よこやん) + "wan" (ワン, japanese dog barking)

Yokowan is the small dog character present sometimes on the Reina's autographs or even autographed cards. As he's always seems to be happy, we could consider it as her "mascot". He appeared for the first time on Reina's goodies to celebrate 2018's new year - one year after her major debut - and has since been very present in all kinds of Reina's goodies. During her first solo conference talk on November 2019, she recieved a life-size Yokowan's drawing in her dressing room.

· "Ichigoyan" (いちごやん) / "Ichigo" (いちご, strawberry) + "Yokoyan" (よこやん)

Ichigoyan is a character created by Reina during a SATOYAMA&SATOUMI event on March 2019, in which she was a MC. Reina describes her as someone who's at first shy but she also loves to meet news people. It seems like this character is based on the event when the girls had to search and cultivate strawberries at Naruchika's woods. Ichigoyan came back during 67th single ZDA solo events but never came back since that. Despite that, Reina keeps talking about her sometimes.


· There are many others use sometimes by members of fans, as "tamagoyan" (たまごやん) related to eggs, "hiyokoyan" (ひよこやん) related to a cute chick, "gyaruyan" (ギャルやん) related to her feminine side, "bobyan" (ボブやん) related to the bobcut... Well, it has become a suffix used in virtually every nuance.
