Hug pillows are called “dakimakura” with “daki” referring to “hug” and “makura” meaning “pillow”. Dakimakura covers typically show anime-type characters. The Rie Tanaka dakimakura shows a realistic image of Tanaka nestled, asleep. She says she was surprised by the idea to do a pillow cover.
Besides voice acting and singing, Tanaka also releases photobooks in Japan.
