Humor Break ; an Adventure of Banaman 「バナナマンの冒険」
Bananaman is a character created by 'Dragon' Sasaki as a part of our presentation for the campus festival. My seminar student, Masayo Kawasaki led others to an idea of selling chocolate covered bananas during the Dohto campus festival of 2006. Being a sculpture seminar, Dragon Sasaki decided to create a three dimensional figure to represent our product. The character became very popular and came to be known as "Bananaman". Represented in various ways, here students played around with the character while installing the sculptures for seminar exhibition. To see more of his adventure check the bottom area of the left column. (Photo to the right, Bananaman being chased by Hayashi's Stag Beetle)
バナナマンはゼミ生のドラゴン佐々木が2006年の道都大学学際の時に作ったキャラクタです。この年、聴講生の川崎マサヨによってイケダゼミは学際ではチョコバナナを売ることに決め、彫刻ゼミには立体のキャラクタが必要と思い、佐々木君が作ったものがバナナマンでした。とても人気があり、いろいろな風に遊ばれましたが、ここではゼミ展の時作品を搬入している間、学生たちが遊んでいるものを当時のゼミ長、イックンが撮ったものです。左のコラムの下のあたりにバナナマンの冒険写真が観られます。〈左、林君のクワガタに追いかけられている、バナナマン)
