MASCOT-loving Japan has two new characters to get excited about after two futuristic designs with pointy ears and chequered patterns were unveiled on Wednesday to promote the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics.
Chosen by schoolchildren across Japan and announced before a gymnasium of cheering pupils in Tokyo, the yet-to-be-named blue character will be the mascot for the Olympics and the pink cherry blossom-inspired one for the Paralympics.
