According to a tweet from Japan's minister, Tarō Kōno, Pikachu is now a cultural ambassador for the Cite of Osaka. The yellow electric mouse was presented with the title at a ceremony, as well as Hello Kitty.

Thats cool. well its good to know.
 
This looks omoroi (interesting, Japanese's Kansai-ben) indeed. I hope both Pikachu and Hello Kitty will do it well for Osaka, because Japan have to compete with France, Russia and Azerbaijan as the host for Expo 2025. So I hope this might encourage more to bid on Osaka as the host, especially if they are fans of either Pokémon and Hello Kitty.
 
What?! That...that's amazing! :D
 
Congrats Pikachu!
 
As if Pikachu wasn't popular enough already. Well done, you brightly coloured rodent with a shocking personality! :p

I want to go meet the oversized stuffed Pikachu someday! It would be an absolute honour! Maybe. xd

Pikachu is better than Hello Kitty in many ways. :v

So, I'm guessing it's some sort of mascot for the City? What do they mean by 'Cultural', anyways? :bear:
 
That's some guy in a suit.
That's not Pikachu.
They don't think it be like it is.
But it do.​
 
That sounds awesome! But I too am curious what the duties of a "Cultural Ambassador" entail.
