Ojiya Tourism Association character Yoshita-kun. Yoshita-kun is an eternal young man whose hobby is eating his way around Ojiya's hegisoba restaurants. He is inspired by the bullfighters of the nationally designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property “Bull Sumo.” Apparently, he appears anywhere if it is for tourism PR for Ojiya City!
