This statue captures Ika Musume in a bright, buoyant moment from Shinryaku! Ika Musume. The figure stands with a playful, confident stance, her head tilted slightly as a friendly wink crosses her face. The sculpt emphasizes her squid-inspired silhouette, from the curved lines of her limbs to the folds and creases that suggest movement through water. The painterly finish uses a sea-toned palette with vivid coral accents, enhanced shading on the hair and dress to add depth, and glossy eyes that gleam with mischief. The base features stylized waves to ground the character, making her feel alive in a lively coastal setting.

Shinryaku! Ika Musume follows a cheerful, stubborn, and endlessly curious squid girl who rises from the ocean to invade the surface world. Her goal is to punish humanity for polluting the sea, but her mission is soon complicated by new friendships and everyday misunderstandings. She forms bonds with locals, learns about human customs, and discovers that kindness and humor can bridge enormous differences. Through comical mishaps and sincere moments, Ika Musume grows from an impulsive invader into a steadfast ally of her human friends. Ultimately she chooses to stay above water, embracing a new home and a new kind of adventure with kindness and curiosity.
