History
The project was established on April 27, 2015 after a few interactions on the then Twitter social network between the Itall Inc. and Bic Camera Mito accounts, which resulted in a collaboration and the debut of the first mascot Mito-tan[1].
Since then, mascots for other Bic Camera stores were established over time and countless merchandises featuring the Bic Camera Girls were distributed.
On March 15, 2019, the Biccame Musume Visual Book was available for sale[2]. It contains among others artworks, background, and trivia of the 36 girls that were published so far.
From April 27 to June 30, 2025, a nationwide popularity contest was held to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Mito-tan. Participants could vote for their favorite Girl among 39 out of 46 existing at the time (the missing Girls being the ones who did not have an associated X account, on which the contest mostly relied).
