This character, popular on YouTube, is derived from Shizuku Tsukishima in “Whisper of the Heart.” She is a lookalike character that served as the inspiration for the girl known and loved by listeners around the world. In fact, Shizuku was the original incarnation of Lofi Girl. However, the original GIF caused copyright issues with Studio Ghibli. Due to these copyright problems, Lofi Girl received a new design and expanded her influence as a cultural icon on YouTube and across various fandoms. Beyond her connection to the renowned anime studio, Lofi Girl has become beloved by people outside the anime community and has even been imitated by other franchises.

Damn, that’s wild

Japan is so great that even French people copy it.

Apparently, nirvana is called Nirvāṇa 💀

Isn’t that like one of Ghibli’s bottom-tier works anyway?

I’ve actually seen this image more than the original one.

8：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 20:31:20.78 ID： ID:E24ItNzc0

Apparently it’s super famous.

Long ago, they say the Taijitu was created by a person named Fuxi… cute, isn’t it?

It’s that background for those videos that just play music for an hour.

10：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 20:37:46.43 ID： ID:PITMtTek0

Is that the “chill something” stuff?

11：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 20:44:01.19 ID： ID:PLXUs7dxM

So that was it?

12：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 20:44:56.04 ID： ID:8ta6Pr3x0

“Beloved”? It’s just playing music for free, right? Stealing the source audio from somewhere.

13：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 20:45:35.91 ID： ID:CPmkwW7+d

Quit stealing our culture, you French prick.

14：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 20:51:06.54 ID： ID:fAVGgkBY0

Shizuku is me…!

15：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:01:24.15 ID： ID:SJmNVM5bd

So more than half of the video content is plagiarism?

16：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:02:29.52 ID： ID:GLaISwD30

Is it plagiarism, or just a common composition?

20：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:17:46.70 ID： ID:9hZkN/Mw0

>>16
But the first time I saw it, I immediately thought it was from Whisper of the Heart. And I’ve only seen that movie like twice.

18：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:12:29.45 ID： ID:VdMo5eD30

I just realized this now.

19：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:15:04.95 ID： ID:ZlFYPydH0

Don’t forget about that “Goto” guy, Tsumi Kota, either 🥺

21：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:22:04.35 ID： ID:9hZkN/Mw0

Well, it’s good that it became a copyright issue. Since it got so popular using stolen art, the creator is probably rolling in dough now.

22：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:26:47.74 ID： ID:doqaX/xS0

Isn’t it just a video for relaxing while you sleep? Who actually watches the screen?

23：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:27:42.85 ID： ID:9hZkN/Mw0

>>22
It was originally intended as study BGM as the imagery suggests.

25：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:29:54.13 ID： ID:doqaX/xS0

>>23
Either way, nobody looks at the screen. You gotta let this slide. Otherwise, things like Chainsaw Man and others getting called out for movie references are gonna get hammered too.

26：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:30:41.50 ID： ID:BkD++4Ao0

Wait, they’re French? I assumed it was Taiwan or Hong Kong because of the English.

27：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:31:27.53 ID： ID:rpkJ5NKR0

I wonder if they even understand what tracing actually is.

24：Unknown Japuzz Watcher ： 2026/07/05(日) 21:28:36.55 ID： ID:IKUCGpr/a

Getting 15 million subscribers just by tracing art and playing music is a total scam.
