March 9 is recognized as both Zaku Day and Miku Hatsune Day due to the way the numbers 3 (san) and 9 (kyuu) can be read in Japanese.
- Zaku Day (ザクの日) – In Japanese, "3" can be read as "za" (a stretch of "san"), and "9" can be read as "ku", forming "Zaku" (ザク), the iconic mass-production mobile suit from the Gundam series. This play on numbers has led fans to unofficially celebrate March 9 as Zaku Day, often showcasing custom builds and tributes to the mobile suit.
- Miku Hatsune Day (ミクの日) – Similarly, "3" (mi) and "9" (ku) can also be read as "Miku", making it a natural fit for Miku Hatsune, the beloved Vocaloid. As a result, March 9 has become an unofficial celebration of the virtual singer, with fans creating artwork, music, and special events in her honor.
Since both Zaku and Miku share the same number-based wordplay, the two fandoms have occasionally overlapped, leading to fun collaborations like the RG 1/144 Miku Hatsune’s Zaku II.
