Mascots
[
edit
]
Urahoro's mascots are
Uraha
(
ウラハ
)
and
Horoma
(
ホロマ
)
are grey herons who are siblings. They lived in the forests of Urahoro.
- Uraha is cheerful, mischievous and a little sloppy and gluttonous. His good luck charm is a Japanese rowan branch (which he carries all the time). He can eat delicious food. Because of this he promotes food from the town.
[3]
- Horoma is gentle but solid and caring. She usually volunteers for other activities. Her good luck charm is a Japanese rose (which she wears on her head).
