Rimukoro
Description
Rimukoro is a Japanese manga artist and illustrator best known as the creator of the manga series The Helpful Fox Senko-san. This series, written and illustrated by Rimukoro, began serialization online on October 6, 2017, through Kadokawa Shoten’s Comic Newtype website. The manga concluded its original run on November 18, 2022, and was subsequently collected into twelve tankobon volumes. The series follows the daily life of a stressed salaryman who is cared for by a young fox goddess named Senko, and its gentle, healing tone defines much of Rimukoro’s public artistic identity.
Beyond the original manga, Rimukoro is directly credited as the original creator for the anime television adaptation of The Helpful Fox Senko-san. The anime was produced by the studio Doga Kobo and aired in Japan from April to June 2019, spanning twelve episodes. In the context of this production, Rimukoro is officially listed as the author of the original manga upon which the anime is based.
In addition to their primary work on The Helpful Fox Senko-san, Rimukoro has created other manga titles. These include Osoroshii Koroshiya no Hanashi, a work published in 2019, and Kimi no Love wo Misetekure!, which was serialized between 2023 and 2025. Rimukoro has also engaged with online content creation in a unique way, having debuted as a virtual YouTuber. In May 2018, Rimukoro, using a virtual avatar, co-created a YouTube channel with illustrator Maki to stream content such as gameplay and drawing discussions. This activity was framed as a way to promote the virtual YouTuber concept and Live2D technology. Rimukoro has also explored creating content under the pseudonym Uni Cream Korokke, a decision that involved a noticeable shift in genre and artistic focus from their more well-known comforting style, demonstrating a range in their creative output.
