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.

My name is Kinumatsu. I’m a seventh-year student at Kinugawa Elementary School. Originally, I was the pine tree that symbolized the school. It withered last year. This time, I was brought back to life based on a design by Tomono, a student at this school! I have “pine” and “horns” on my head, and “the flow of the river” and a “name tag” on my chest! “Am I cute?”
