GATE -- Hello Bunny

In the "attention to detail" department, there's a cartoon character that keeps showing up all over the place in the GATE manga. For lack of a better term, we can call it "Hello Bunny", because it looks like a satirical take on Hello Kitty. I first noticed it as Risa's Twitter icon.

And her twitter account name is "RisaRisa", which is cutesy and completely in character. But I started noticing it all over the place. Below the fold...

They're selling a Hello Bunny plush in the PX.

Somehow it ended up on the coat someone lent to Tuka.

This little girl has one of those plushes, plus she got a picture of it on her T-shirt that she's wearing as a night shirt. She shows up with that plush several times; I didn't grab them all.

She seems to be the mascot for this shopping district.

Risa's version isn't the same as the others. Risa is an artist, and I bet she drew her own version, but with glasses.

I assume that the mangaka invented this character just for the hell of it, but I could be wrong. Is this a real thing?

1 There actually is a "Hello Bunny", but it's part of the "Hello Kitty" family, not the character I'm talking about here.
