The swimsuit was inspired by the illustration below by professional illustrator cccpo, which attracted the attention of Mocolle ("Daydream Collection"), a fashion designer dedicated to bringing daydreams to fruition. It created the real version and a crowdfunding campaign on Campfire to mass-produce it. With a goal of 300,000 yen (US$2,694), it has already raised 941,144 yen (US$8,453) with only 103 backers since the campaign launched on March 29.
