Does anyone remember? It has been about 10 years since the 2nd generation model was released in 2016.

That summer tradition representing Thanko, the "Electric Fan," has evolved further and returned for the summer of the Reiwa era.

It reproduces the flexibility of a traditional fan, creating a natural and comfortable breeze different from electric fans or circulators.

Boasting the most powerful airflow in the history of Thanko's electric fans, it can be adjusted steplessly from a gentle breeze to a strong wind.

With a sturdy steel base and non-slip pads, it has overcome the past weakness of "self-propelling due to recoil."

Since it is USB-powered, using a mobile battery allows it to be used not only indoors but also on balconies or during camping.

Furthermore, the fan part is replaceable.

You can use a bamboo fan to enhance the atmosphere of a cool evening, or set your favorite "oshi" (idol/character) fan to admire them while staying cool.

It can also be used as a moving POP display in stores to attract attention.

Recommended for those who dislike the cold air of air conditioners and want to cool down with a natural breeze, or those who want to create their own comfortable breeze space.
