My name is “Kumamon.”
It was born in March 2011 when the entire Kyushu Shinkansen line opened.
My job is to find surprises and happiness that are close to me, and get everyone around the country to know about it.
I want everyone to know more about Kumamoto, which I love, so I’ll continue to visit him!
I will continue to look forward to the charming Kumamoto and me!

Coronya is a cat who lives a leisurely life at a small panna restaurant on the street corner. Hitomi Shiri’s Coronia is always a failure
It’s hidden in.
Coronya, who has been recognized for her hard work through her “part-time cat experience” at the SanX Net Shop, has announced her post as a SanX Public Relations program in July 2023.
Inaugurated. While he is a SanX character, he also serves as a public relations representative for his company. Even though I was a bit accused of him, he was interviewed as a public relations representative and was also involved in events.
He is struggling to attend the event.
