Hanamaru is Yachiyo Town's agricultural products support character. The Japanese name 八菜丸 is pronounced Hanamaru. In Yachiyo Town, which has Japan's largest production of Chinese cabbage, Hanamaru was created with Chinese cabbage as the motif, and the nickname was decided through a nationwide public competition. In addition to serving as captain of Yachiyo Town's agricultural products support team, Hanamaru works to promote Yachiyo Town throughout Japan.
