Kumamon is just as popular as ‘Hikonyan’,

which is a character in Hikone city among local Yuru Chara

(cute, cuddly, and sometimes bizarre mascot).

 

Let’s fold such a popular ‘Kumamon’ among children,

which is so adorable with its innocent face with red cheeks!

and also a happiness manager of Kumamoto Prefecture,

has been engaged with working hard by looking
