A couple of weeks ago a sponsored tweet (of all things) alerted me of a big music festival/convention happening in Tokyo that was also somehow completely free for foreigners to attend ( Read more... )

Do you have or can you find a picture of the Sendai mascot? I had one and accidentally deleted it :( Thank you!

He is a cow with a crown, an eye patch, and his tongue sticking out.

Is it this guy?

( ... )

Nope. I definitely saw that one in Sendai, but there's another one I saw on the bus.

Oh you've actually answered a question for me. We saw this guy dancing in a shopping mall to a Japanese version of ABBAs SOS! Not sure what he was doing in Ueno though.

I also found Neko Masamune

Nope, I love them all though! It got me thinking about what mascots each state in America would have...

twissie December 7 2016, 03:06:59 UTC

Hahaha :D

Is it even close, though? Do you remember colour, shape... anything else?

Is it this guy? xD

manintheboat December 7 2016, 04:59:06 UTC

That's really close! Except he had a samurai helmet! He was rounder like the other characters.

Lol! Could it be Gyutan-chan, except wearing an eye patch and a helmet? I'm guessing gyutan is a Sendai specialty, my character hunt has taught me something new :P

Or is it Gyusenmaru?

manintheboat December 7 2016, 05:36:43 UTC

YOU FOUND IT! It was a Gyusenmaru! Thank you!
I need a tee shirt.

manintheboat December 7 2016, 05:41:12 UTC

Oh yeah. We ate A LOT of gyutan in Sendai. Hilarious.
We were looking for a place to eat and a guy jumped out of a restaurant, 'YOU COME EAT HERE!" So we did. All beef tongue. We ordered it all and swapped plates. Curried, grilled, souped, in tomato sauce...

When my uncle took us to the Takko Beef and Garlic Festival I asked ahead of time, "Will there be traditional dancing there or something?"
"Yes, that's exactly what will be there."
When we got there he pointed at the dancing garlic, cow, and eggplant mascots and said, "That's about as traditional Japanese as you get!"

I just looked through hundreds of them (AMAZING) but didn't find it, so never mind. I'll let you know if I do!
