I saw this sort of post on someone's blog and thought it was really cute, so I felt like trying it myself! A bit late for Robamaru's mannaka birthday, but oh well, better late than never, and I couldn't wait until next year! This isn't the extent of my Robamaru collection (it wouldn't fit in one post!), but it gives a general idea of their friendship. 💙💜 First of all, what is Robamaru? Newer hyphens might not know what Robamaru means. Robamaru (ロバ丸) is the name Ueda and Nakamaru chose for their team when they were playing a game on Shounen Club during their Jr years. Roba (donkey in Japanese) was the nickname given to Ueda by Yokoyama (Kanjani8), and Maru comes from the end of Nakamaru's name. Since then, the name caught on with hyphens to refer to this pairing. 💙💜 So what is Robamaru mannaka birthday (ロバ丸 真ん中バースデー)? Nakamaru and Ueda were born exactly one month apart, so Robamaru mannaka birthday is a day halfway in between their birthdays (September 19th)
