After winning a mascot competition with Jinta-Kun, I was invited to design a new mascot character, Owl- San for the Bar Association of Japan. Owl san was created to support a movement that is advocated by a group of humanitarian Lawyers to promote the visualization of the interrogation process in Japan and protect the civil rights of people by preventing physical and physiological violence by the prosecutors.Owls’ image and associative attributes are particularly suitable for this project; Even in the darkness, they can see very clearly, thus shedding light on the truth. In addition, owls are believed to be representations of wisdom, rationality, and fairness in the western world.This mascot was used to support victims of false accusation cases, such as Iwao Hakamata from the famous incident called Hakamata incident.
