Character that brings brightness and energy to Minamisanriku: Octopus-kun. Born with the local specialty octopus as its motif, “octopus” is connected to “okuto pasu,” meaning “place it and pass,” so the character has also become popular as a lucky charm. Appearing at many events, he is active while praying for everyone's success in examinations and reconstruction.
