My hobby is taking pictures of fun and weird Japanese mascots (and other costumed characters).

Sikissy, a living portrait picture with arms, draws quirky caricatures of people in Fukuoka City.
Kakitan, a bear-shaped god who likes persimmons, is an agricultural mascot from Wakayama Prefecture.
Pukumaru-chan, a pink and yellow lanternfish from Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture, does an impressive party trick.
Mujinamon, a magical badger with a leaf on its head, is the mascot of Hanyu City, Saitama.
Hoo-chan, the mascot for Yamano musical instruments, is a musical fairy who dresses in a bird costume because both music and birds can fly freely across borders.
Kasayan, the smiling mascot for the town of Kasagi in Kyoto, is a Nekomata (cat yōkai) who guides tourists there. He has two tails, but you can’t see them here.
Taiga-san, a dapper tiger from Toranomon, Tokyo, is the mascot for the anime channel AT-X.
Yutapon Red is one of the Yutapon Five, a squadron of raccoon dog superheros, the mascots of Yugawara hot springs resort in Kanagawa.

Chikamaru is an elusive underground dweller and unofficial mascot for Saitama Prefecture. He loves Saitama Prefecture and alcohol, even though he has a low tolerance. He came up to the surface with Liver-kun, his best friend.
