Kuroko Paragraph

This mascot is an all-black silhouette from the city of Saitama. I chose this mascot because unlike the other mascots, it’s not bright and colorful. It’s an all-black silhouette that leaves the viewer with nothing to look at except their own thoughts and nightmares! I don’t know if this mascot is popular, but it would probably have something to do with it standing out among the colorful yuru-chara.

Reflection Paragraph

Learning about Yuru-Chara was a fun and enjoyable experience. There are definitely a lot more Japanese mascots than there are Canadian mascots. The only time I could see mascots being used in Canada is when there is a sports team that has one. Yuru-Chara is obviously very important in Japanese culture and that is something I think is cool!
