Introducing July’s Sonic Channel wallpaper♪

Hello, I’m Tomoko Hayane!
Lately, the hot days have been increasing. The more you start to feel the lively signs of summer, the more it makes you want to take a quiet break in the shade of the trees, doesn’t it?♪

Featured in this month’s wallpaper is Espio, the chameleon ninja who was born in the shadows and lives in the shadows!

A Custom-Made Item for One Who Lives in the Shadows!?

This time, Espio appears wearing under-rim glasses! Their subdued gold color brings out his seriousness and gives him an almost artisan-like look.

And if you look closely, the bridge has been shaped in just the right way to avoid the horn between his eyes. It might even be a special shinobi-designed masterpiece, made so they won’t slip whether he’s training in ninjutsu or carrying out stealth missions♪

No detail has been overlooked! You can really catch a glimpse of Espio’s particular attention to detail here.

And there’s one more thing that stands out: the brush and scroll in his hands. Could he be writing down a secret ninja technique? His dignified expression and graceful brushwork also make it seem like he’s quite skilled and well accustomed to calligraphy.

Is That Brush Actually Being Used to Keep Records!?

Espio the Chameleon Ninja plays an active role as a detective at the Chaotix Detective Agency! He leaves a strong impression as the calm presence who keeps things under control between the cheerful and boisterous Vector and the innocent, endlessly energetic Charmy. Without Espio, the Chaotix trio might never stay organized…!?

…Could this scroll actually be the agency’s account book?

“If I subtract Vector’s food expenses and Charmy’s snack costs from the payment for the job… Careless of me…! The numbers don’t add up again this month!”

He might be quietly clutching his head in frustration♪

Personally, one of Espio’s most charming qualities is that, despite being serious and disciplined, he is constantly being dragged around by the other two! Combined with the heart-shaped marking on his stomach and his tightly curled tail, that blend of coolness and charm feels like something only Espio can pull off.

This Month’s Highlight!

Be sure to download this month’s wallpaper and let Espio share some of his finely honed concentration with you!

On X, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the wallpaper and your guesses about the situation using the hashtag #ソニかつ♪

To me, it looks like he is pretending to write down the secret arts of the shinobi… while actually compiling the Chaotix Detective Agency’s accounts. Every day is training, and every day is bookkeeping!

Until next time!
