\nJapan’s favorite Go-torch Characters (sometimes called Yuru-chara) are coming back to J-POP SUMMIT at Fort Mason Center! In addition to Zombear<\/a> and Paper Bag Fairies “Sanasenabona,”<\/a> we have more characters joining. The additional cast includes Koakkuma & Akkuma<\/a> from Hokkaido, AsakuSamurai<\/a> from Asakusa and Umebara “Hibari”<\/a>from Ibaraki.
\nThey will perform live on our main stage and will also be found running around making friends with our visitors all over the festival! Enjoy taking photos with them at J-POP Photo booth (F3) and their own booth (F2) at Welcome Area!
