During the 60th anniversary for the JMSDF’s 25th Helicopter Squadron in 2016 a new mascotte was introduced, a Yuki-onna named Yukino Ominato at the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade as designed by Takeshi Nogami who has worked on Girls Und Panzer, Panzerfraulein and others.
At the same time to celebrate the new mascotte as well as the 60th anniversary some items were released like patches and button pins.
As we already have multiple patches implemented in the form as decals, this can work as another rather unique one.
A few years later, in 2021 this patch got an update to no longer be purely bound to the 60th Anniversary and to also come in two different models. A high visiblity one with the original orange outline
And a low visiblity version
The 25th is based on Ōminato Air Base in Mutsu, Aomori Prefecture. They have seen deployments off the coast of Somalia as a shipboard helicopter unit as well as other overseas deployments as a shipboard unit.
Some of the designs that were made before her final design was created can be sene here as well.
Ofcourse the full design can also work as a pin-up in the way of multiple already existing decals but i haven’t really found any larger scale depictions of that just yet so for now I am just focussing on the patches.
