‘Kajukansa’ the mysterious Orangeman of Japan
Over on reddit the question was what could be this character (R) that was spotted in Kagoshima, Japan’s deep south, at the southwestern tip of the island of Kyushu. (Wiki).
Kagoshima is famous for its oranges, in particular Satsuma/mandarin oranges. The fruity, yuru-chara “lose character” (3Yen / 2010-10-20 ) is “Kajukansa” and its made up the four types of oranges of the area.
Kajukansa is part of a local TV show for kids called “Hayato Satsuma Swordsman*” that is filmed in various places in Kagoshima to show off the tourist spots: “Eat, drink, sleep, and take a bath, or enjoy the specialties*.” Ri-i-ight.
