Kagoshima promotional characters Guribu and Sakura. Guribu was born modeled on the Roppaku black pig and inspired by Kagoshima’s nature and Saigo-don. His wife Sakura was born from the wish that abundant nature would spread from Kagoshima, like the cherry blossom front moving north from the south. The two promote Kagoshima!
