54 ５４
An unusual classic centered on a quiet girl whose original appearance is drawn as large-scale ASCII art. The later bundled MIY Color shell gave 54 a more conventional illustrated form, and a remarkable number of artists subsequently created alternate shells for her.

Technical context
The original 54 uses an ASCII-art default shell derived from work by D4 北野チェき, with permission recorded in the package readme. The archive also bundles the widely recognizable MIY Color shell by みやま / MIY. Package metadata names the secondary character slot 540, but surviving user-facing documentation found for this record does not establish 540 as a conventional visible companion. No established spoken reading of the numeric title has been verified.

AG36 states that this project diverged from a planned port of 54 and became a separate derivative ghost, described as 54's unrelated younger sister. It is not a replacement release of the original.
English availability
Related English version: incomplete. Project54_Eng is a usable partial English edition of AG36's 54-derived ghost. It is relevant to visitors looking for an English 54 experience, but it does not translate Towa's original ghost.
