16-year-old voice actress Ibuki Kido (OniAi's Akiko, Pupa's Yume) will be lending her voice to Sharp's COCOROBO... your new moe sister vaccum cleaner. Kinusa Shimotsuki, manga artist of the Kanon manga and the ongoing otaku comedy Tonari no Kashiwagi-san, designs the character associated with the product looking to fill the needs of folks who want to live with pretty imouto consumer electronics.
Based on the RX-V200, the product aims to be able to have conversations with her owner (older sibling?) and Sharp promises that she's a good listener.
Name: COCOROBO-chan (subject to change)
Personality: Bright, little sister with a bit of tsundere moodiness
Favorite things: cleaning, chatting
Favorite subject: geography
Special skill: fishing
Sharp Cloud Labs is taking application for folks looking to get into a drawing for a trial run. Check out their site https://portal.cloudlabs.sharp.co.jp/portal/projects/precoco/
There will also be a rock-paper-scissors at Anisong Ichiban!! Presented by HoriPro
