Bringing Each of the 16 Types to Life in a Palm-Sized Form
Love Type is a free quiz that sorts romantic tendencies into 16 character types. Results are shared with friends and partners as a way to learn about each other's romantic tendencies, and the quiz is used mainly on social media. Its cumulative number of diagnoses has passed 100 million.
LoveChara supervised the designs of all 16 characters for the plush mascots. The expressions, poses and color schemes familiar from the illustrations are reproduced in the roughly 11 cm figures.
Details reflect each character's personality, such as the composed gaze of Boss Cat (ボス猫), the earnest expression of Loyal Dog Hachiko (忠犬ハチ公), and the turned-away pose of Tsundere Delinquent (ツンデレヤンキー). The series has a consistent look, so the mascots can be enjoyed on their own or lined up together.

From a Social Media Quiz to a Character IP
Love Type has grown through people relating to their quiz results and sharing them. The plush mascots extend the 16 types that have been popular on social media into a form that fans can pick up and enjoy.
LoveChara regards this release as a milestone in the quiz's growth from diagnosis content into a character IP. The company plans to continue expanding the world of Love Type into products and events.
