| Japan is mascot crazy, and ゆるキャラ (Yuru-chara) is what they're called. From city to prefecture mascots, and sports teams to company characters, there isn't anywhere you can go in Japan without running into one. Mascots are used in advertising and often appear in person at events. There are mascot contests, where people's favourites are ranked from year to year. Most of them are cute, but some.... not so much. Two of my personal favourite mascots are Morizo and Kiccoro, who were created for the 2005 World Expo that took place in Aichi. This cute green pair became popular enough to earn their own TV show! ゆるキャラゲーム - Yuru-chara Game I'll post a picture (or two) of a mascot, and it's up to you to guess what it's for! Work together with fellow forum members, ask yes / no questions to get hints, and let's see how many characters you can figure out! We'll start off with an easy one that many people probably already know. What's his name and what company is he associated with?

| spotsnutd is right! Domo-kun is the mascot for the TV station, NHK, and his goods can be found all over Japan. Up next is a character that has become super popular in the past few years. Can you guess what he's for the mascot for and what his name is? Don't forget, feel free to ask yes / no questions to get hints! |

| Nope, he doesn't represent a shelter or sanctuary. I just thought the photo of him holding the cat was funny. |

| @Sportsnud, I know this isn't my game to run, but in most of our guessing games you usually wait for someone else to guess before guessing again. Please refrain from editing your original guessing post, editing with the right answer isn't fair to others and doesn't give them a chance to participate. Also looking up the answers takes the fun out of the game so that is generally a no-no as well. Thank you for understanding and sorry for interrupting the game!
I await the next mascot image to try and guess! |

| It is Kumamon! But for future characters, please try to ask questions to figure out the answer! Next up is another one of my personal favourites. |

| Zoey got it! The cute little chick is ひよこちゃん (Hiyokochan), the mascot for a type of chicken ramen. We've only had cute characters so far, so let's try someone a bit less... adorable. |
