Idol director Daruma-chan of the Kokura Yaki-Udon Research Institute. This character is active promoting yaki udon in Kokura, the birthplace of yaki udon. Kokura yaki udon is prepared by boiling dried noodles before cooking, so it apparently offers a chewy texture. Daruma-chan is dressed as a daruma because the name of the restaurant that originated Kokura yaki udon was Darumado.
