Nichinan Town original character Ossanshōuo. This character was created by combining the giant salamander, a natural monument inhabiting Nichinan Town, with an ossan, or middle-aged man. Living in the Hino River, he works to energize Nichinan Town, which struggles with an aging population and depopulation.
