"Okazaemon is the unofficial mascot of Okazaki City. It was born from a work exhibited by contemporary artists Hitoshi and Kohta at the 2012 contemporary art exhibition "Okazaki Art & Jazz 2012".

Since then, he has frequently appeared at events, and his eccentric but somehow lovable appearance has gradually become a hot topic. He is so beloved in the local area that Okazaemon is now known as the symbol of Okazaki. " -Okazaki-kanko

"A mysterious creature born from the unification of cells and water. Its identity is unknown.

The red part is the “cell,” which divides and increases.

The blue part is “clean water,” which can be transformed to flow.

It seems that it is looking for itself to be who it wants to be, and has transformed into various shapes." - 2025 Expo
