Mascots

Urahoro's mascots are and are grey herons who are siblings. They lived in the forests of Urahoro.

Uraha is cheerful, mischievous and a little sloppy and gluttonous. His good luck charm is a Japanese rowan branch (which he carries all the time). He can eat delicious food. Because of this he promotes food from the town.^[1]
Horoma is gentle but solid and caring. She usually volunteers for other activities. Her good luck charm is a Japanese rose (which she wears on her head).^[2]
