This Good Smile Company soft toy depicts Kagami Chihiro, a member of the Millennium Science School in Blue Archive, in the Chocopuni style. Standing approximately 17 cm tall, she features the compact, rounded proportions characteristic of this collection, with a seated pose, a deliberately oversized head and small limbs.
Chihiro retains her short midnight-blue hair, with a wide fringe falling over her forehead and her small yellow hair clip positioned to one side. Her large turquoise glasses frame her embroidered light-green eyes, whilst her blue and grey halo is reproduced above her head. The various facial features are mainly created using embroidery to ensure a neat finish suited to the soft toy’s size.
Her outfit is based on the distinctive uniform of Millennium and Veritas. Chihiro wears a white jacket with navy blue sleeves, a light blue top and her ID badge around her neck. The trims, seams and small emblems have been simplified to suit the Chocopuni style, whilst retaining the key elements that make the character instantly recognisable.

Character background and lore
Kagami Chihiro is a third-year pupil at Millennium Science School and vice-president of Veritas, the school’s hacker group. She is described as a particularly talented programmer with excellent hacking skills, whilst showing far greater restraint than some of the other members of her club.
Chihiro attaches great importance to computer ethics. Whilst Veritas can regularly get drawn into questionable experiments or intrusions, she tries to remind her fellow members of the boundaries that must not be crossed. This pragmatic and responsible personality often makes her the voice of reason within the group.
Her profile states that she is 17 years old, 160 cm tall and particularly enjoys shopping for electronic equipment. She uses an assault rifle called ‘Backdoor’, a name that directly references computer security terminology and her specialism as a hacker.
In Blue Archive, Chihiro thus embodies the most methodical aspect of Veritas: highly skilled in IT, she is involved in both field operations and digital security matters, whilst ensuring that the group’s talents are not used indiscriminately. The Chocopuni soft toy captures this studious and composed image through her glasses, her Millennium uniform and her ID badge.
