コジカトイズのヒラモトさんが主催するソフビ展示イベント「SOFUBI-ISM」の取材同行記、第3回目となります。
今回は「みかんかっぱ」「カレゴン」の生みの親であり、高級ジュエリーや版権キャラクター原型でも活躍する、株式会社Pawretta 代表取締役社長 小林康之さん（@yama823）を訪ねました。
This is the third installment of our series covering the “SOFUBI-ISM” soft vinyl figure exhibition organized by Mr. Hiramoto of Kojika Toys.
This time, we visited Yasuyuki Kobayashi (yama823), President and CEO of Pawretta Co., Ltd., who is the creator of “Mikan Kappa” and “Karegon” and is also active in the fields of high-end jewelry and character prototyping for licensed properties.
僕は基本、個人制作の同人的ソフビを集めている人間ですので、今回の取材は、対比によってとてもおもしろくなる予感と同時に、今までとは勝手が違いそうだ、門外漢にならないかと非常に心配していました。
蓋を開けてみると、小林さんは話題が非常に豊富で、ヒラモトさんの質問を入り口に、次々と興味深い話へと展開していきます。時間を忘れてしまうほど、濃密な取材となりました。
Since I’m primarily a collector of independently produced doujin soft vinyl figures, I had a feeling this interview would be very interesting because of the contrast, but at the same time, I was very worried that it would be different from what I was used to and that I might come across as a complete outsider.
As it turned out, Mr. Kobayashi had a wealth of topics to discuss, and using Mr. Hiramoto’s questions as a starting point, the conversation unfolded into one fascinating story after another. It was such an in-depth interview that I completely lost track of time.
ある意味、とても刺激の強い取材になったので（笑）、少し頭を整理してから記事にまとめることにしました。
以下は、僕の勝手な印象と感想になります。
ご本人の意図とは異なる部分もあるかもしれません。
その点をご承知のうえで読んでいただければ幸いです。
In a way, it was a very intense interview (laughs), so I decided to take some time to gather my thoughts before putting it all together into an article.
What follows are just my personal impressions and thoughts.
Some parts may differ from the person’s actual intentions.
I’d appreciate it if you could keep that in mind as you read.
