This recent photograph taken by one of 2ch’s many resident otaku appears to show K-ON!’s lead vocalist, Yui Hirasawa (or perhaps her equally adorable body double-cum-sister, Ui) helping to promote Hiroshima’s baseball team, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, a team as useless as it is badly named.
The amount of chibi proportioning given to the character might make recognition take longer than it should, until Yui’s Gibson Les Paul Standard is spotted in place of a baseball bat, which more than makes for a positive identification.
The girl on the right is a bit harder to give a name to, but not by much – given the red hair, bandanna, and what appears to be a Pokéball on a stick, it must be Pokémon’s Haruka, also known as May in English localized versions.
The usual Hiroshima Toyo Carp mascot logo, in its official and much less moe form:
Those who happen to be in the vicinity of Hiroshima that would like to catch a glimpse of the poster should look for a “convenience store at the South exit of Hiroshima Station.” The official status of this relationship is not clear.

So, does this mean that Yui is ahead of May for some reason? And I love it. Hitting baseballs with guitars. Reminds me of FLCL.
Well, Yui is ahead of May in bat size, but May is ahead of Yui is breast size.
I <3 The Carps!
I find Haruka much easier to identify than Yui in this picture.
the first time when k-on is a win :)
K-ON always wins, BABY!!!!!

When they evolve, they're gonna kill us all.
Fear the コイキング (Koikingu/Magikarp) and ヒンバス (Hinbasu/Feebas)!!
I wish Ash would settle down already...at this rate I'll be dead before he finally becomes a "pokemon master" or whatever its called now.
Most of the current Pokemon fanbase weren't even floating around in nutsacks when Satoshi went off on his journey...
The "C" design looks very similar to the one of the Cincinnati Reds.
may had brests in pokemon??? lol, i could have sworn she was flat
Go Hirasawa Carp! Community-owned, baby w00t!
Yui vs Haruka:
One is a 16yo teenager who stays flat while the other one is a 10yo loli with huge breast..
I see Yui is playing with balls now,cute
I see what you did thar..
I noticed May('s tits) first.
what
do they even have permission to put all these up
YOU MEAN the Hiroshima Crap, rite?
GO HANSHIN!
Chunichi Dragons >>>>>> abism >>>>>> hanshin
GO! GO! ファイターズ!
http://www.carp.co.jp/news10/k-021.html thats from a team that named their ballpark ramen "C-Men"
LOL "C-MEN" sounds like..
California Men
a 3 legged octopus smiley?
(:D)E
There you go. Wait, what?
~~O
~~~o
~o
Seamen.
I just found my favorite baseball team.
I thought the other one on the right is Haruka (May) from pokemon.
Also, Yui's Gitah looks like a hardcore weapon used in WWE. XDD sweet!!
Why am I getting a FLCL feeling from looking at Yui?
yep. Haruhara would be a better choice.
I love how May still has huge breasts even though she's chibified.
It's like blasphemy xD
Yui would never use 'Gitah' to hit on something. lol
.
I doubt that Yui would even be able to hit the ball so I don't think that Gitah is in danger of getting damaged. She's probably not even facing the right direction.
True, but Haruko would.
Lol. Yui would rather sleep with Gitah-san. She's too lazy to play during the baseball season; too hot
Damn you, Gitah-san!
that's the first thing that came to mind here, aswell. very nice.
same here. Yui's everywhere, May is quite the treat.
Wow Haruka, it's been a while since I've seen her but I still love her! That chibi picture is adorable, both Yui and Haruka.
Moe for bad guy? Will Yui can bring luck to them?
Btw, looking at the old mascot. I feel like his neck...kinda long isn't it?
The manager must have promised that if the team would be removed from yet another league championship, he'd remake their mascot into a little girl.
WEW
Haruka > Yui
I think she looks much more like Plug.
I think its funny, Chiyo-chan was a Tokyo Giants fan.........Yui could be Carp fan
Carp-men
Isn't Haruka/May holding a PokeBlock Case?
