I’m “Mamoru-kun,” the officially recognized yuru character of the Osaka Provincial Cooperation Office of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. Mamoru-kun works every day so that local people can feel closer to the Self-Defense Forces. Depending on the mission, he carries out duties as a Ground, Maritime, or Air Self-Defense Force member.
