'Fairy Tail' Manga Creator Hiro Mashima Draws Special 'Twin-Tail' Themed Sketch For Mock Holiday [PHOTO]

Every country has their own form of less serious holiday traditions including Black Bean Noodle day in South Korea, and Bill Murray Day in the United States.

But the most creative holiday to date is probably the fake 2/2 "Twin-Tail" day of Japan.

A recent celebrator of this "Twin-Tail" mock holiday is "Fairy Tail" manga creator Hiro Mashima. The author took to his personal twitter to share some double pony tail artwork featuring his own characters. Fans can view this "Twin-Tail" and "Fairy Tail" combination below.

Upon seeing the mock holiday sketches, fans on Crunchyroll lamented not being able to celebrate "Twin Tail" day before finding out it even existed.

"I wish I knew about this holiday yesterday, so I could have participated. Because seeing a bearded man with twintails is an experience more people need to have," commented FelOnyx.

"I think I like this holiday. That being said, Twintail Zaku FTW," said Rcsatcrunchyroll.

Crunchyroll compiled some other interesting tweets in honor of "Twin-Tail" day including the infamous Lady Beard of Japan's own take on twin pony-tails.

"Twin-Tail Day" is likely a mock tribute to obviously the proliferation of symmetrical pony tail hair styles in anime, but as some fans noted, is relevant to the popularity of the "Gonna be the Twin-Tails" anime series. Perhaps you could say there's no point in drawing special sketches featuring characters from that series since it's all about "Twin-tails" anyway.

For those who are not familiar with the series, "Fairy Tail" is described by Funimation as follows:

"Across the Fiore kingdom, wizards join guilds and make their pay by filling magical needs-but one guild has a reputation as the roughest, rowdiest, most dangerous of all: Fairy Tail!

When four young Fairy Tail members unite, their bond is forged by a power found in neither muscle nor magic and grows stronger with every mission. Whatever you do, don't mess with these friends or you'll get a taste of Natsu's flaming fist or Gray's ice hammer, suffer a painful blow from one of Lucy's celestial spirits or catch the edge of Erza's mighty blade! Whether they're stopping demons from devastating the world or wrestling in the mess hall, this mystical team manages to inflict as much damage to their rivals as they do to the surrounding area!
