Sengoku period samurai reborn as cute animal mascots
NTV’s “Zoom In” morning show did a feature report from the scene of the mascot summit recently held in Hikone:
The most popular non-Hikonyan mascots at the event were the cuddly animal versions of famous Sengoku period samurai. Ishida Mitsunyan, a feline mascot based on Ishida Mitsunari was especially popular with the ladies, many of whom no doubt became his fans due to his manly portrayal in the Sengoku Basara video games.
