Japan is Mascot Land

Megane Mascot - by Rick Cogley at 27 Oct '08, 7.59am PDT PSTThere's no shortage of cute mascots in Japan. They look like they are made of fiberglass, and are in front of storefronts here and there. The one pictured here is the Megane Drug mascot, who has a peach on his headband, leading me to think it might be Momotaro, he of childrens' story fame. The thumb below is his back, with the kanji for trust "shinrai". Search Flickr for fiberglass Mascots and there is a whole group devoted to them.

Do ya shinrai us?
