The familiar characters "Bay-chan" (10 years old) and "Bee-chan" (8 years old) from "Baby Star Ramen" will "retire" in 2016. Announced by Oyatsu Company.

Bay-chan first appeared in 1988. Since then, he has been a mascot character for about 30 years. Wearing various costumes to match the flavor of Baby Star Ramen, it appears in the package. The idea was born from the idea that even children who cannot read letters can easily imagine the taste.



Retirement comments from Bay-chan are as follows.

We, Bay and Bee, will retire as baby star characters in 2016.
We first appeared in the package in 1988.
I can't forget the time when the first character boldly renewed the package from orange to white and made a spectacular debut while inheriting the history and will of the baby star that has been protected for about 30 years.
Timeless. Beyond the seasons. Beyond the border.
While changing into various costumes, it has appeared in many packages.
I would be happy if I could leave some fun memories for everyone who met us.
It has been about 30 years since the baby star was inherited from the first character.
We also decided to make a baton touch to a new era.
I hope that many children born in the future will know about the new baby star.
I hope baby stars will love you more and more until the future.
We will continue to support baby stars.
About 30 years in no time. I'm really thankful to you

Baby Star products will continue to be sold as before.
