His charming feature is his ears! He is a dog that has become suguki greens, a traditional vegetable of Kamigamo, where the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature is located. He is not a daikon. He is sharing the attractions of the institute's study sites and labs far and wide!! https://www.chikyu.ac.jp/minna/chikyu-inu/index.html
