Japan's Newest Mascot

Japan has a new mascot fighting the Coronavirus.




It (he? she?) has a big red "X" marked across Covid-19, it has a purple heart shield with its name and of course, it wears a mask.  Recently it has been seen handing out disposable masks in Tokyo.  It can also be booked to visit schools or companies to share its message on keeping safe. What do you think - cute or creepy?

    Cute and very Japanese, if it gets the message out to people then it is great.

    I vote for "cute"! It makes me smile, which doesn't happen enough lately.

    Cute. Anything that can bring attention to people about safety during covid, has got to be a good thing.

    It is amazing how popular these mascots or characters are with adults, but it is certainly a part of Japanese modern culture.
    This one is quite cute and I hope it will be effective.

    It is cute. Is there a reason why they picked a cat?

    Of course Japan has a mask wearing, anti Covid mascot! It's cute. I can't quite make out the name, but does it say Koro-NO! on its heart? :D
