Obira Town’s new PR character Obimaru. He was created to promote Obira Town’s attractions and make the town even more lively. Apparently, his name comes from “all of Obira’s specialty products.” He expresses Obira Town’s specialty products, including melons, Obira beef, scallops, octopus, and rice, with his whole body. With the town emblem’s star as his charming feature, he appears at events and works hard in PR activities so that more people will learn about Obira Town.
