Japanese mascots - Kutan from Narita Airport

Sun, July 31, 2011, by Muza-chan

Since Japan is the country where almost every company has a mascot, it was only natural for the Narita Airport to have its own mascot. Meet Kutan!
Actually, if you enter Japan through Narita Airport, Kutan is probably the first Japanese mascot you’ll meet - he’s always displayed at the information desk from the B1 floor of the Terminal 1 (towards the train stations) and I know I’ve seen him at the Terminal 2, but I don’t remember where…

Kutan is a boy, wears a red scarf, pilot cap and goggles and his favorite item is the yellow star he found in the airport. He’s enthusiastic, friendly, he dreams to become a superhero, likes to stroll on the runway and wishes for everybody passing through the airport to be happy:
