When I went downtown, I unexpectedly met Kumamon. He was performing in an event. I saw real Kumamon for the first time. Kumamon is a publicity character created to aim at vitalizing and boosting this area economy. He is very popular here.

My friend lives where Kumamon is popular, so she bought me some Kumamon alcohol. Sometimes I see Kumamon goods even in Fukuoka!
クマモンをはじめてみたときに このアメリカのキャラと似てるんだなっと思ったが、
今良く見たら あまりそうでもないと思います。(笑) >>

I think he looks nothing like Kumamon (>_<)
I bought Kumamoto shochu with Kumamon logo on the bottle at JR Hakata station when I was back in hometown, Fukuoka, last time. It was so cute I could not resist to buy it. I see you are using it as your profile photo. Can anybody use it freely? BTW, the shochu was really tasty. Kumamoto produces very good shochu.
At first, I wanted to spread “Kumamon” over the countries. However there looks like no need. lol Personal use is allowed, but I may have to change if this blog becomes famous!
Yes, you may have to (^^)
I mean, Ume-shu, not shochu. The umeshu was so good. I bought it for my father, but I ended up drinking all of it myself (LOL)
AAAH! Kumamon is so cute!
Did you try the cakes?
Not yet(^^;) It surprises me that this post is the most popular in my blog.
皆クマモン大好きだから~ ww
