Konbu-kun, the PR Director of the Konbu Museum, is a boy fairy born from kelp grown in the seas around Hokkaido. He now conveys the appeal of kelp at the Konbu Museum in Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture. He appears at many events while sharing kelp-related appeal and information through blogs, Facebook, and elsewhere so that more people will come to like kelp.
