Authorized character of the Yoshida Town Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Division, Ureshimaru. The name Ureshimaru comes from the initials of eel, lettuce, and shirasu, specialty products of Yoshida Town. He is a ninja serving Koyama Castle and was unveiled in 2015. His face is apparently inspired by sushi rolls, and he also promotes Yoshida Maki, a local specialty available at many restaurants in the town. He appears at various events to help more people learn about the attractions of Yoshida Town and Yoshida Maki.
