👑 Special Guests: Inunakin & Yurunakin
Izumisano’s official mascot Inunakin, designed by manga artist Yudetamago (creator of Kinnikuman), is based on the legend of Mt. Inunaki and acts as a protector of the region.
He was the runner-up in the 2019 Yuru-Chara Grand Prix!
His chubby and adorable “brother” Yurunakin, born from Inunakin’s failed cloning technique, also took second place in the 2020 competition.
