Niiza City image character Zookirin. This animal lives in Niiza City, which values its mixed woodland and babbling streams. It looks like an elephant, but its markings are those of a giraffe. It came to Niiza after mistaking the word zokurin, meaning mixed woodland, for Zookirin. Since then, it has visited events in various places to share the appeal of comfortable Niiza City with as many people as possible.
