I could find a lot of yabai mascots as well as cute ones there It's the account posted by @kaeryth and @SitTwizzle earlier in the thread Here is a CNN article about Chris Carlier who runs the account: The viral Twitter account celebrating Japan's mascot culture Quote Chris Carlier is a British freelance illustrator who has been living in Tokyo for more than a decade. He started Mondo Mascots purely because he was interested in the culture and enjoyed taking photos of mascots he saw. "A few years ago I saw the costumed mascots walking around and started taking pictures and looking them up," he tells CNN Travel. "It's like birdwatching or collecting stamps." He also cautions against taking mascots at face value and seeing them only as cutesy and innocent. "Bad things have mascots, too. Nuclear plants, large corporations with bad practices. Cults have mascots."
