I am sure many people are aware that kites are flown all over the world.
In Japan, flying kites is considered a New Years tradition, and many children enjoy flying kites in large parks and at river banks. If you have a chance, it is always enjoyable to take a look at the children and their kites.
Right before your eyes there just might be…a flying Pikachu. That’s right: in this season, popular anime character kites can be seen flying high in the sky.
There are many foreign people who became interested in Japan thanks to anime and manga, who would be sure to enjoy seeing in Japan the interesting and unique sight of anime and manga characters turned into kites.
From Pokemon, Demon Slayer, Mario, Doraemon, to Sanrio characters and more, it is exhilarating to see these popular characters from Japanese anime soaring in the sky as kites.
If you are a fan of Japanese anime and characters, be sure to be on the lookout for a kite of your favorite character as a souvenir from Japan.
Once you’ve found your kite of choice, I recommend going kite flying to enjoy the sight of your favorite character flying through the sky.
Just be careful not to fly your kite too high!
