This is a translation of the source description. Dates, affiliations and plans refer to the source’s publication context, not a guarantee of current activity.

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!
