The Imoni Festival's mascot characters, Imoniman and Satomichan, were created to enliven the Imoni Festival held in Yamagata. Imoniman has a head shaped like the pot used to make imoni, while Satomichan is inspired by taro. The two are close friends and are always together. They work not only to enliven the festival but also to promote it so that people throughout Japan will learn about it.
