From the recorded profile

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.

Takemaru-kun, Ikoma City’s character, was created with bamboo in mind because Takayama chasen, tea whisks used in the tea ceremony, are a local specialty. He promotes Ikoma’s good qualities nationwide by appearing at events and being featured on city buses.
