media. Over four decades after the character's introduction in 1978, pachinko machines featuring Lum are still being made. Lum also appeared wearing a Hanshin Tigers uniform in a series of numbered collector covers of the Daily Sports (a daily sports newspaper published in Japan) from 2003 to 2009. Comiket organiser Koichi Ichikawa has described Lum as being both the source of moe and the first tsundere, a character which alternates between being harsh and being loving. Bome, a sculptor of anime-style figurines, felt that Lum was the first female lead character in a work published on a shōnen magazine, and was inspired by Lum to create a line of "oni-musume" (she-devil) figurines. In the 6th edition in 1983 of the Anime Grand Prix, Lum was ranked second place behind Misa Hayase from Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Matthew Sweet introduced many people in the United States to Lum through clips in his music video "I've Been Waiting". Sweet also has a tattoo of Lum.
