Get to know Hiroty

Entry No.109
Affiliation: Âé¶¹AV
Hiroty is Âé¶¹AV's first official mascot! The name "Hiroty" was chosen through a campus-wide competition, combining "Hiro" from Âé¶¹AV and "Ty" from University. The mascot is designed by illustrator Hirofumi Kamigaki.

What is Yuru-verse?

Yuru-verse is a national competition featuring regional mascots. It evolved from the "Yuru-Chara Grand Prix," which launched famous mascots like Kumamon and Barry-san. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it adopted a hybrid online and offline voting system, creating "Yuru-verse."

Let's make Hiroty famous across Japan!
