Mr. Goya, the Green Goodwill Ambassador, left his family in the southern lands and was assigned alone to Fukuchiyama City. He is based on bitter melon, a climbing plant suitable for creating green curtains. He participates in events throughout Japan, performing his specialty dances while working to make Fukuchiyama City number one in Japan for its green-curtain rate and spread green curtains nationwide. Recently, he has also been active together with his wife Mama Goya and beloved daughter Chibi Goya.
