Expo 2025 official character

The official character for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, is Myaku-Myaku, red-and-blue mascot symbolizing body cells and water – the source of life. Its name derives from the Japanese word “myakumyaku”, which describes the situation in which something is passed down continuously, and was announced at events marking 1000 days left to the opening of the exposition. It was chosen to show hopes that wisdom, technology, history and culture of Japan will be passed on to future generations uninterruptedly.
