Higashimatsuyama City mascot characters Makkun and Ayumin are siblings created in 2011 with the city tree, pine, and city flower, peony, as motifs. Their bodies are made from jars of miso sauce used for yakitori, and they wear walking shoes because they love walking. They appear at events and conduct PR activities to help more people learn about Higashimatsushima City.
