Question about Mao!

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

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.

Ah, yeah

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.

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

Aha, no prob! One of the artists said that it's just the popular opinion that Mao's b-day is on January 1--

Hold on, lemme dig up what they said:

私も実はインターネットで見つけただけなので、公式かどうかはわかりません。
コードギアスのオフィシャルサイトや書籍もいろいろ探してはみましたが、サンライズ公式での発表は見たことがありません。

でも、多くのサイトでマオの誕生日は1月1日とされているので、一般的にそのような認識なのだろうと思ってその日に誕生日イラストをアップさせていただきました。

↓アニメキャラクターの誕生日をまとめているサイトです。マオの記述もあります。参考程度にどうぞ。

しつこいようですが、公式の発表は見たことがないので、ただとりあえず祝いたい人が勝手に1月1日を誕生日と決めて祝っているのかもしれません。好きなキャラの誕生日は祝いたいものですから。

結局よくわからなくてすみません。
メッセージありがとうございました。

And then the other artist said:

私は以前買ったアニメディアの付録で見ました。
> 確か2008年の９月号だったと思います。
> 他にもネットで誕生日を調べると出てきます。

So yeah. :3 Popular opinion for Mao's b-day is January 1, etc.

actually Lelouch is born in 2000 too (http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8151/pashh.jpg), so he is 11 months younger than Mao...
