the term "Hananezumi" is called "Flower Mouse" in Japanese, which Azume and Kyoko's appearance appear to be like a generic rat like you see in the sewers. though, they don't live in the sewers like rats do. it's called Flower Mouse, not Sewer Rats for a reason. the icon itself has a designated codename, and the codename is called "Blooming Harmony" (which you can see on the top of this page); and it was previously called "Beyond Aura" from it's old icon from 2024.

it only started as a fun little hobby back in the day. once I expanded my storytelling and characters, The Hananezumi Project was slowly getting developed as a little group project, with only me being in this group. The Hananezumi Project started with these 2 characters; Azume Tametani and Kyoko Tametani, which are the main core of this project group. the group project takes place in the Philippines, which you may rarely see one of them developing a game like i am. while the name itself is in Japanese, this is just a main part of my knowledge and expansion. without the Japanese language, the majority of the characters would turn into ashes, and this group project wouldn't exist as well.
as of today, our current mascot is Miya Rikusawa; our previous mascot was Maki Chikara. Miya Rikusawa was a fortunate one to be the mascot of The Hananezumi Project, since her color is similar to what the colors are from the icon itself.
