Jun Sato
Profile
Omakase Jun Chan is Here!
After numerous requests and continuous support, a Jun Sato character has finally been completed. His name is “Omakase Jun Chan” (Leave it to me! Jun). In the design, he is wearing sports clothing. He is also running while carrying a bag of rice like a rugby ball. We designed him to be athletic and running, because I believe that light and nimble footwork is the best way to resolve difficult problems. “Leave it to me! Jun” is carrying a bag of rice as he runs, because Niigata is famous for producing Japan’s highest quality rice. I hope this new character can help to bring us all closer together and help to promote a safe and friendly lifestyle.
If you have any ideas for Niigata or know of any problems, please let me know. It doesn’t matter how trivial it may seem. I would like to hear your opinions and help make this area the best that it can be for all of us.
