This isn't the first outing for Steve Jobs the body pillow, by the way. Tominaga first brought her printed companion to the iPhone 6 launch in 2014, when she spent a whopping nine days outside the Ginza Apple store.

Body pillows, called dakimakurain Japanese, have taken on somewhat of a quirky image since Western publications started documenting a subculture of Japanese men developing relationships with their pillows.

While men with body pillow "girlfriends" remain in the minority in Japan, the concept has been parodied in popular foreign media.

In an episode of 30 Rock, James Franco's character is shown having a relationship with an anime body pillow he named Kimiko.
