Happy Halloween !
This little hot cup comes from the 7 Eleven Store. They have been
running a promotion as Target did last year. The only problem for
some reason both stores just call him Domo instead of his true name
Domo Kun. I guess saying his whole name is too hard for Americans ?
I think he is/was the mascot for NHK Television. I heard his name came
about by an announcer saying Domo Konnichiwa, a greeting ( well hello
there ) or Hello Domo a fun pun Domo Kun. The station ran short
announcements with him, and a Star was born.
He is so cute and I am a big fan !

ReplyDeleteFinding DomoKun stuff in Japan is pretty hard now a days. Amazing that you have it at 7/11.

Well DomoKun is quite old. I love that he is a small open mouth monster, hatched from an egg who lives underground with a wise old rabbit. . . oh and likes TV !
I was shocked when I saw the banner hanging in front of 7 Eleven. . . and they also have some DomoKun items inside.
I have only been to a store in El Centro so I need to stop here in Tucson. Think I can buy the banner ?
I love him, but I also rather enjoy the background picture too!
