The smart car brand began as a joint project between Daimler-Benz and the Swatch Group, a Swiss watch company. In the early 1990s, Daimler-Benz, whose product lineup was dominated by luxury cars of medium class and above, was seeking to enter the compact car market, where it could expect to sell more cars. At the same time, the Swatch Group, a Swiss watch company with no experience in automobile development or manufacturing, was planning to produce and sell eco-friendly microcars for two passengers and was looking for an automobile manufacturer to partner in this new business. In 1994, the two companies formed a joint venture, MCC (Micro Car Corporation), and in 1998, MCC launched its first production car, the innovative two-door "Smart In 1998, MCC launched its first production car, the innovative two-door "smart coupe" (later renamed from "coupe" to "fortwo"). Later, in 2000, the Swatch Group withdrew completely from the management of MCC, and DaimlerChrysler (in 1998, Daimler-Benz merged with Chrysler to become DaimlerChrysler. However, the two companies dissolved the merger in 2007.) In 2002, the company changed its name from "MCC" to "smart," forcing a drastic change in management structure, and there were constant rumors that the smart brand itself would be discontinued. However, DaimlerChrysler continued to manufacture, sell, and develop smart cars, adding a diverse lineup of models, including five-door hatchbacks, open sports cars, and models with diesel and gasoline turbo engines, to meet the needs of users worldwide who place importance on fuel efficiency and global environmental conservation. The company continued to respond to the needs of users around the world who place importance on low fuel consumption and global environmental conservation. In 2016, the total global sales of Smart reached 2 million units, and the brand has gained worldwide popularity as an advanced brand with high environmental performance. This is the third generation of the smart fortwo, which was jointly developed with the Renault Group and has been on sale since 2014. It shares basic components with the Renault Twingo, and its overall width has been increased by 105mm compared to its predecessor. On the other hand, the RR layout and compact body size of less than 2.7 m in length, which had been adopted from the first generation, were maintained, and while maintaining the unique concept of the smart, comfort and handling stability were greatly improved.

This is the generic name for a group of games, mainly bullet-hell shooting games, produced by ZUN's private circle "Team Shanghai Alice". Production of the series began in 1995, and the first game was released in 1996. This is said to be due to the intention of ZUN, the creator of the series, as the character personalities, designs, and settings of each work are not necessarily consecutive, and the series is not recognized as a series. The production, from the program to the graphics and BGM, is almost solely the work of Team Shanghai Alice (i.e., ZUN alone). The BGM in particular is highly acclaimed, and many arrangements have been created by fans. The unique worldview set in the imaginary world of "Gensoukyo," a world based on a Japanese motif, the characters with unusual personalities and settings, and the depth of the backstory make the story and characters very popular, and many derivative works (novels, manga, etc.) have also been created.

She is a raven-tengu girl and a newspaper reporter (Bunya) who lives in the mountain of specter. She has been living in Gensoukyo since before the establishment of the Hakurei Daijikai, more than 1,000 years ago, when there were demons. She was a raven before she turned into a tengu. She herself is one of the most powerful people in Gensoukyo, but she never tries to show off her power (this is a characteristic of Tengu, not only her).
