Kobe Port Tower mascot needs a nickname

The Kobe Shimbun reports that Kobe Port Tower‘s mascot needs a nickname. The character’s official name, Kobe Port Tower-kun, is terribly uncreative, so the Kobe Port Promotion Association is turning to the general public for nickname suggestions.

Anybody got some good ideas?

Why not just use the initials and go with KOPOTO-KUN? (I think they should focus more on redesigning that mascot though. How uninspiring. Looks like a refillable ketchup bottle.)

Well if he looks like a refillable ketchup bottle, it’s only fitting that he’d be called Ketchup-kun.

I thought of “Ketchup-kun” too once I saw that picture
