Japan's original skiing man, Lerch-san. Created to commemorate 100 years since the birth of skiing in Japan, based on the real person Lerch-san, who was the first to teach skiing in Japan. Despite his enormous 2.70-meter body, he actually skis, although there is a rumor that he is somewhat weak under pressure?
