Mascots are a full-on cultural obsession in Japan. Nail salons, tourism agencies, rock bands, police stations, film festivals, car dealerships and more tout their own cartoonish characters \u2014 known as <\/span>yuru-kyara<\/span><\/i> \u2014 in the name of entertainment and self-promotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sanpuku real estate agency\u2019s mascot, Madori-kun, is a wrestler with a studio apartment floorplan for a face. Donning black briefs and a spandex bodysuit, Madori-kun has faced a few beatdowns in the ring and there are <\/span>pictures to prove it<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the idea behind the mascot design is incredibly creative, the floorplan itself is total garbage. It lacks a toilet, kitchen, closet space \u2014 not to mention that awkward nose hallway leading to nowhere. As a studio dweller myself, I would advise against such an inefficient layout.<\/p>\n

And if I had to place a bet on a fight between Madori-kun and Japan\u2019s most infamous mascot, <\/span>Chiitan<\/span><\/a> (a badly-behaved “0-year-old fairy baby”), I would pick the genderless otter any day of the week. Madori-kun just doesn\u2019t seem like he has the fighting spirit in him. He\u2019s a floorplan, after all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
