Congratulations to ZUN and his wife! I wonder what kind of strange Touhou-like life philosophy ZUN will pass on to his child?

For the first 12 months, probably nothing except milk and love.

ZUN's child is a male?

How... ironic given what he's known for.

Let's face it; we ere all thinking female.

Awesome!

But it feels real awkward offering congratulations here as opposed to directly to the man himself.

Bwahahahahah let it no longer be said that ZUN cannot into boys!  :D

So good to hear that everything went alright, after all.

Hearing the playful jabs at him ending up with a son is something else, too. "He finally made a male character!"

I doubt we will see much of his son growing up, but I see a certain possibility of this taking a certain impact on the Touhou series as well... can we expect to see a new manga with a protag based on his son in a few years?  :D

Congratulations, ZUN! Say goodbye to sleep for now - it won't be back for another six to eight years - and say hello to surprising quantities of body fluids, perpetual cleaning, second-guessing everything you say or do with your child, and not regretting a moment of it.

Caw caw!

Makes me actually wonder how much time he will have to develop new touhou games. Probably none because raising is a child is most likely a full time job by both parents (witnessed live my self from my sister as well as helping out 1 day. I am not ready for any children myself yet :V)

I myself am going with Zunior.
That one is well thought. Haha.

As someone who has helped take care of a younger brother since birth and know of a best friend of mine who inspire me and later got married and thus stopped working on his comic. I too will fully understand if ZUN's hands become full.

It all depends on what he what he decided to do. Regardless I wish him the best of luck as he takes care of his new son. So here's to ZUN, a congratulations to him for all he has done and achieved over the years may his son grow up and hopefully become inspired his dad's work.

After reading this whole thread I guess I was not the only one feeling mildly disappointed that it wasn't a girl. It's a relief that I'm not the only one. Anyway, congrats!

Actually I was thinking more along the lines of "what kind of goofy outfits will the kid wear if female" =P

ZUN has now returned to Tokyo all by himself, leaving his wife and child at her hometown, because he's still got a day job as the writer of Touhou manga.

His editor congratulated him during yesterday's manga meeting.

Writing on the cake: "Congratulations for the Junior's birth".

How would a cake taste after you stuck a burning sparkler into it, I wonder.

Not any different. I can speak from experience where in Turkey often with wedding cakes they do this crap.

Our translator told me this sparkler-like thing is specifically designed for cakes, and leaves no ashes or smoke.
Title: Re: ZUN has become a father!

Did the translator also say why he keeps getting pancakes, as opposed to cake cakes?

Yeah, but it was a joint work, and his contribution was very limited..... and we still don't know if it will be playable! *bombed*

Lol I'm dying of laughter here.

Even though I'm really late, congrats to ZUN!  I really wonder how he'll grow up to be.  Programmer?  Songwriter?  Artist?

As someone living in the 'high-context culture' that many places in Asia have, along with the usual notion of 'shame societies', i've seen more than a few people around me who have had their careers and education decided almost entirely by social mores, third-party opinions and peer-pressure.

The Japanese are reportedly somewhat more lenient on this matter than the old 'Doctor or Engineer' character selection screen we see so often....

Got love the thread title previews. Again, Congratz, Zun!

I am horrified to think of the art that would happen if it were a girl...

to be fair, people is just speculating about what he could become, not "deciding" in anyway since I doubt the kid will even let his father decide it let alone stranger on the other side of the earth.
