About Zousan.com

One lazy Sunday morning in May 2002, Zousan begged Kristen & Tod for a domain name. "Can I have a web page? Zousan.com sounds really smart, don't you think?" Unable to resist his sweet pleadings, Kristen & Tod signed him up.

The other Zous were mighty annoyed. "Why isn't it 'thezous.com'?" they demanded. "We want our own pages, too!" They were too late but Zousan offered them space on his page. And thus zousan.com was born.

Where to Find These Elephants

If you're wondering about the origin of the Zous, they are friends of Dick Bruna's Miffy; you should be able to find them where Miffy toys are sold. There's a Miffy specialty shop in Shibuya, Tokyo, and many department stores and boutiques here carry Miffy things. If you are a skilled web auction hunter, you may find them on Yahoo or Ebay. The elephants are manufactured by Sekiguchi.

Our Zous came one at a time: Zousan -Christmas 1998 (My City Shinjuku) ; Zousama - June 1999 (My City Shinjuku) ; Zoupi - August 1999 (KIddy Land, Omotesando); Zoukun - Feb 2000; three Kouzous - Summer 2001(Ginza).
