The Japanese schoolgirl you're looking at the picture above is Saya. She's pretty famous online, but she's got a huge secret. One that's been let out the bag already. You'll be surprised. Because the reason people are freaking out is...

She's not real.

According to Mirror, “Saya” is the creation of Tokyo-based 3D graphic artists Teruyuki and Yuka Ishikawa, a husband and wife duo who made Saya together.

In an interview with gaming site Kotaku, Yuka said: “Since we’ve been working on this between jobs, it’s been somewhat hard.

“We’re going to give it our best when making it.”



Since the image was shared by the graphic artists on Twitter, Saya has gone viral as internet users were stunned by how ‘real’ she looks.

The end-goal with Saya is to use her as a CGI character in a self-produced film the two are creating.
