(A) In most parts of the world, mascots are associated with sports teams. In Japan, they canrepresent everything from commercial brands, towns, schools, and even prisons. With morethan 1,500 mascots, or yuru-chara throughout the country, this unique aspect of Japaneseculture has recently caught worldwide attention. Effectively, mascots are tools for promotionand engagement. Winners of the annual national mascot competition, the Yuru-chara GrandPrix, which began in 2010, can quickly find fame and fortune. In fact, sales of mascot-relatedmerchandise have reached billions of dollars in Japan alone, and cities pour money intotrying to create the next mascot superstar.     Some mascots have an amateurish simplicity, but that’s part of their appeal. Kumamon,a smiling bear with red dots on its cheeks, was created by the Kumamoto Prefecturegovernment to promote tourism. The bear has become internationally famous, starred in itsown short films, and appeared at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Another example of ayuru-chara that has rocketed to stardom is Funassyi, representing the city of Funabashi. Thisgiant pear has traveled to New York and London and has been interviewed by CNN. Unlikemainstream mascots that are quiet and still, Funassyi hops around making noise excitedly.
