Hinohara Village official character Hinojagakun. Hinohara Village is apparently suitable for growing potatoes, and its specialty potatoes are sold as they are and processed into products such as ice cream and shochu. Born with these specialty potatoes as his motif, he is an eternally 22-year-old boy. He has apparently been active in Hinohara Village since 1991, before the yurukyara boom. While sharing attractions and information about Hinohara Village on Twitter, Facebook, and elsewhere, he appears at various events and attracts attention.
