Kumamon and  Bari-san
Do you know Yuru-chara(ゆるキャラ)?
These are cute character.In Japan,
each prefecture has its own character.

It shows the image of the prefecture.
The championship of Yuru-chara took
place yesterday.

Kumamon(くまもん) in Kumamoto city won the
first prize.He is the most popular character
in Japan.
My home town Ehime,Bari-san(バリィさん)
won the second prize.

Shimanekko(しまねっこ)in Shimane prefecture
was 21st.Shimanekko shows the image of Shimane,
Izumotaisha.(出雲大社)
I voted Shimane's Character many times.

They are a kind of the event which cheer up the
prefecture.Many people joined the contest.

  1. Hi Sena,

    I didn't know that each prefecture has its own mascot. That's really cool! Usually the only thing here that have mascots are sports teams. I love how different they all are. Are most of them this colorful? I'll have to look up some more of these interesting yuru-chara.
