Will Hyakuman-san collaborate with Eta-kun on 『Nocho no Hi』? Following the 『Hokuriku Shinkansen Extension Event』, he is scheduled to appear at Kanazawa Station 【Kanazawa Event】

Ishikawa Prefecture’s tourism PR mascot, Hyakuman-san, has been extremely busy recently, appearing at various stations in March for the 『Hokuriku Shinkansen Extension One Year Prior Event』, and is scheduled to appear at Kanazawa Station on Monday, April 10, for the 『Nocho no Hi』 tax payment campaign.

Hyakuman-san rushed to the 『Nocho no Hi』 last year as well.

According to Captain Kaniko of the 『Prince Pukumaru Goods Shop』, who is also a handmade artist, Hyakuman-san also appeared at Kanazawa Station on last year’s 『Nocho no hi』 and collaborated with the National Tax Agency e-Tax character, Eta-kun. There is no information about this year’s event yet, but I wonder if we will see Eta-kun again after a long time.

Incidentally, Eta-kun has performed several times with the idol group =LOVE at 【e-Tax】 PR events.

Hyakuman-san, who is in great demand in many places

In March this year, Hyakuman-san visited Wakura Onsen Yutsukappe Park on March 18 (Sat.) and 19 (Sun.) to promote the 『Hokuriku Shinkansen Extension One Year Before Event』 at Kanazawa Station. He seemed to have enjoyed meeting with various fellow Yurukyaras.

Furthermore, Minami Hamabe, who visited Aeon Cinema Kanazawa Forus as a visitor for the movie 『Shin Kamen Rider』, was holding a doll of Hyakuman-san in her hand, and it became a topic of conversation.
