gotouchichara:Yuru-tō (ゆる党) - The Yuru PartyThis group of six local mascots formed in August 2014 to combine their PR powers. They apparently had a “serious” meeting today in Fukaya (first two pictures above). And yes, that’s “party” as in “political party”. The members are (left-right in the top picture):Sanomaru (さのまる) from Sano, Tochigi PrefectureEbinya (えび〜にゃ) from Ebina, Kanagawa PrefectureTakata no Yume-chan (たかたのゆめちゃん) from Rikuzentakata, Iwate PrefectureAyukoro-chan (あゆコロちゃん) from Atsugi, KanagawaEboshimaro (えぼし麻呂) from Chigasaki, KanagawaFukkachan (ふっかちゃん) from Fukaya, Saitama PrefectureSanomaru is the leader, and winner of the 2013 Yuru-chara Grand Prix. Their goal last year was to get the other five in the top 10 of the 2014 GP (winners from previous years do not re-enter), but only Fukkachan and Ayukoro-chan achieved this (results are here).Image sources: 1, 2 -- source link
