Yaya! (Hark!) It seems the World LocalCharacters Grand Prix. is going to be held! I have heard that not only mascots from Hinomoto (Japan), but also mascots from foreign lands will be participating, de-gozaru. Imagining Lord Hikonyan’s friends working so hard and passionately on this fine occasion brings me great joy, de-gozaru. I am certain that Lord Hikonyan himself must be thrilled as well. While I, a humble ninja, wish I could participate too, my duty requires me to remain in the shadows, so I shall cheer for all the local mascots from afar, de-gozaru!
