Mutsugorō-type yuru character Ariake Gatagorō. Ariake Gatagorō supposedly lives in the tidal flats of the Ariake Sea. Inspired by a mudskipper, he is a character who deeply loves Saga Prefecture. While introducing Saga's attractions on his blog and Twitter, he debuted in a mascot costume in October 2013 and has since appeared at many events. There is even a rumor that touching his heart-shaped tongue improves one's luck in love!?
