What makes Japanese mascots different from the ones we see in Canada?

I think they are different from mascots that we would see in Canada is because, we have ones that look a little funky unlike the ones in Japan’s mascots who’s are more cuter.

Why do you think mascots are so popular in Japan? Do you think Canada should have a similar take on mascots? Explain

I think mascots are popular in Japan because they are used to represent Japan and its prefectures, as well as businesses. In my opinion it would be weird for Canada to take on something similar to mascots like Japan because I don’t think it would suit Canadian culture as much as it suits the Japanese culture.
