Question about Mao!

[eggy-egg.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know when Mao's birthday is?

My friend and I came across three fanart on Pixiv (here, here, and here) and they're all happy birthday pictures, all posted on January 1  (he really does suit being a Capricorn), and all by different artists. I'm just wondering where they got this information that his birthday is on January the first. I was always under the impression that we never find out his birth date, so is there supplementary media that supports him being born on January 1?

Update: Okay, two of the artists replied back to me and one of them said that his birthday was published in the September 2008 Animedia. So if anyone has that issue of Animedia, I guess they can check for proof...

It's also here. 

皇暦2000/1/1

マオ

So Mao is older than Lelouch!

Update 2: The third artist got back to me and said that this info could be found from the CRITICAL ZERO book.

I noticed this before on Pixiv with Clovis (October). There might have been something released in Japan that the rest of us never found out about, or maybe some fans made them up. I'm sure there's some way to contact the artists on there, maybe someone who knows Japanese could ask them.

I really have no idea where the list originated from, nor do I remember where it was posted, so I can't even check to see if they got it from a scan or something.

I'll go contact the artists on Pixiv and hopefully they'll reply. Thanks for the help!

I got that list from this comm and it comes from the Code Geass data collection books. I was just looking through my copies for Mao, but his birthday and age aren't listed, only his blood type. I think it's unlikely that a date was ever chosen for him, since none of the other minor characters have birthdays.

[eggy-egg.livejournal.com]

Are those data collection books in English? Ah, would you mind telling me his blood type, then? :)

[schneizel.livejournal.com]

They're in Japanese, and his blood type is B.

Haha, Bismarck and I share a birthday. Not the first character I would choose to share a birthday with, but still pretty cool nonetheless! ^^

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

Hi5, mine is the day before!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Suzaku shares his birthday with my mother.

Which at least means I will never forget either of them.

...I wish I knew enough about blood types and genetics to work out if those types for all the Britannian family people were remotely plausible.
