This charming ball of fur is back at Japan Expo! Kumamon comes all the way from the Kumamoto prefecture, from where he is the mascot. Born in March of the year 2011, after the Kyûshû Shinkansen line opened, he won the big national mascot contest that same year.
His work is to find surprising and funny things hidden around us, and making them known to everyone. He was appointed commercial manager by the governor of Kumamoto and wants everyone to know his lovely prefecture!
Be prepared to meet him this summer! Kumamon is bringing with him the vitality of Kumamoto and invites you to attend his show, where he will be dancing and singing: “Kumamon’s gym” and “Kumamon-mon”!
