Izu no Kuni City unofficial PR character Nuezaemon is inspired by the great monster called a nue, which appears in The Tale of the Heike. His head is a monkey, his body is a tiger, and his tail is a snake; apparently, in human terms, he is about 40 years old. He appears at various events and locations, appears on television, and shares the city's appeal and information on Facebook to make more people aware of Izu no Kuni City's attractions.
