Cute "Yuru-Kyara" in Japan๐ฅฐ
Have you ever heard โใใใญใฃใฉ (Yuru-Kyara)โ?๐ฑ๐ถ
The word "ใใใญใฃใฉ" is a combination of the Japanese words โใใใ Yurui" (loose) and "ใญใฃใฉใฏใฟใผ Character," which accurately describes the relaxed and informal design of these mascots. ใใใญใฃใฉ are often brightly coloured and feature exaggerated facial expressions, oversized heads, and cuddly body shapes.
ใซใใใใใใผ, one of the unique ใใใญใฃใฉ came to Singapore and performed his drams on 25 Feb in Japan Travel Fair.

ใซใใใใใใผ is an apple-shaped cat rock star who plays the drums, originating from and representing Aomori Prefecture.๐ฑ๐๐ฅ
ใใใญใฃใฉ are widely used as a means of promoting regions in Japan.
By creating a character that is rooted in the local area and using it to promote the region's charms:)
One of the most famous and popular local ใใใญใฃใฉ is ใใพใขใณ(Kumamon), representing Kumamoto Prefecture.
ใใพใขใณ is the black bear character and has national and international fans.๐ป
There are a lot of goods of ใใพใขใณ.

Another unique ใใใญใฃใฉ is โใตใชใฃใใผ (Funasshi-)๐, the pear-shaped mascot for Funabashi City.
ใตใชใฃใใผ can speak and move lively, and appeared on various Japanese TV variety shows, entertaining viewers with its energetic and humorous personality.
My hometown, Nishinomiya City also has an official mascot character, called โใฟใใใ (Miyatan)๐โ.
I saw ใฟใใใ everywhere in my hometown, and this character is really loved in Nishinomiya City.
Whether you're a fan of cute and cuddly things or simply interested in Japanese culture, ใใใญใฃใฉ are definitely worth checking out!
