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.

Niigata City’s disaster-prevention mascot characters. Jijo carries a whistle and backpack to call for “self-help: protecting your own life yourself,” while Kyojo carries a megaphone to encourage “mutual aid: helping one another,” along with a first-aid kit for helping people. They broadly promote the importance of self-help and mutual aid, from children to adults.
