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.

Mikkusu, the officially recognized mascot character of the Matsue Kyōmise Shopping District, was created to promote the shopping district and Matsue City. Although apparently sometimes mistaken for a cat or other animal, Mikkusu is said to be a male hamster. A large heart is designed on the rear. Mikkusu works actively by sharing and promoting the area’s appeal and information on Twitter and elsewhere and going to events around the country.
