Japanese Mascot Ossan to Appear as Guest of Honor at Anime Expo
JAPANESE MASCOT OSSAN TO APPEAR AS GUEST OF HONOR AT ANIME EXPO
Comical character will present Japanese culture and comedy routines
June 16, 2015 – Japanese mascot Ossan will make his American debut at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, July 2-5, 2015. The popular “Go Torch" (also known as “yuru-kyara”) character will participate in multiple events at the convention, including an Instagram and Twitter promotion in which attendees can snap photos with Ossan and tag their photos with “#FoundOssan” to receive a small gift.
Ossan (sometimes called “Chicchai Ossan”) is one of Japan's top local mascots along with Funassyi. There are more than 3000 mascots in Japan, each of them representing a specific prefecture or city.
Ossan's real name is Shinichi Sakata. He is a middle-aged Japanese guy with a strong LINE last year and ranked in the Top 3.
In Japan, Ossan has become one of pop culture's favorite characters with his sharp tongue and warm fatherly advice. People in Japan think he is very funny -- ask him to play the national anthem and see what he does! There is also a rumor that you can gain good luck if you get a chance to rub his shiny bald head... but you always have to ask him nicely.
