Yup, thats her, with her imagination created in her hands.

"Aki Maita is 31 years old. She joined the toy kingdom of Bandai in 1990, and is now in charge of the business development and marketing department.
Aki said she had always loved to keep pets. That's why she designed Tamagotchi - a virtual pet that can be brought to anywhere with you.
In the process of designing Tamagotchi, Aki made trips to the crowded shopping areas of Tokyo many times and conducted street questionnaire surveys. She also read all the high school girl magazines trying to learn what the young girls are thinking. - Well, all her work obviously paid off!"
I just thought that it was very interesting. Most people couldnt name the creator of Tamagotchi off the tongue without just saying Bandai.
Best,
Strawberry
