Japanese Mascot of the Week #3 - Toire-kun the Toilet Boy

weekly series introducing the strangest yuru-kyara mascots Japan has to offer.


Hometown: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture (Yokohama Resources and Wastes Circulation Bureau, North Office)
2015 Yuru Kyara Grand Prix Ranking: 1429th of 1727

Toire-kun (pronounced toy-ray, the Japanese approximation of "toilet") is the mascot for the Yokohama Resources and Wastes Circulation Bureau's North Office (not the lousy South Office, those jerks.) His one and only job is to inform citizens of the importance of toilet-related counter-measures in the event of a disaster. What that entails isn't included in his official profile so your guess is as good as mine. Please do not sit on Toire-kun.
