Nyankichi Character Production (Costume) [Sekikawa Village Office]

The character "Nyankichi," designed by our company, has been appointed as the official mascot of Sekikawa Village in Niigata Prefecture as of April 1, 2023!
"Nyankichi" is a character designed in reference to Sekikawa Village's specialty product, the "neko chigura" (cat basket), and on Nyankichi's head sits its friendly snake companion, "Monja"! Sekikawa Village is known for its famous festival, the "Daishitamonja Matsuri," where a large snake measuring 82.8 meters parades through the village. This inspired the amusing and unrealistic combination of a cat and its friend, the "snake."
Its catchphrase is "Sasukene♪," which means "No problem" in the local dialect of Sekikawa Village.
If you find comfort in Nyankichi's silly face, your daily stress and worries might just be blown away with a "Sasukene♪."
From now on, Nyankichi will appear at events and announcements in Sekikawa Village, promoting the village's activities. We appreciate your support!
