Palpito's Mascot Character line unveils Hoshi-kun in a vivid Live Version statue. The figure stands in a dynamic forward-leaning pose, as if stepping onto a stage to greet fans. Hoshi-kun is rendered with a glossy enamel-like finish that brings out soft pastel blues and crisp whites, accented by tiny star motifs scattered across the outfit and accessories. The sculpt captures expressive features: oversized eyes, a tiny grin, and perky ears that convey boundless energy. Fine detailing on the fur, paws, and collar enhances texture, while the clear stand and base suggest motion and light from a live performance.

Within the Mascot Character series, Hoshi-kun is the cheerful mascot accompanying the adventures of Palpito’s creative teams during live events and pop-up exhibitions. Born from a collaboration with KIKUO and SI.KU.K, Live Version envisions Hoshi-kun as a performer who channels starlight into every gesture, guiding fans through playful scenes and tiny tales. The figure hints at scenes where the mascot leads a chorus of tiny figures, igniting imaginations and turning ordinary displays into a backstage moment. Collectors who display Hoshi-kun imagine storylines of friendship, stagecraft, and shared moments under bright show lights.
