I’m Yonel, the promotional manager for Yomiuri Family, a lifestyle information newspaper published in the Kinki area! I’m a sheep who loves sleeping! “Sleep well” is “yo-neru” in the Kansai dialect, which is why I’m called Yonel! Yonel’s tail is heart-shaped. Touching this heart-shaped tail will bring you happiness! If you see Yonel, please touch the heart-shaped tail!
