Let's understand a little more about how the mascot became an honorary employee of the consulate!

The origin of the “Consul-Cat”

The mascot of the consulate “took office” in March of this year. According to workers at the site, he was promoted after Consul General Hiroaki Sano returned to Japan.

Since returning to the country, the animal has assumed the role, appearing in various posts and meetings and presenting different works from the local sectors.

“I am here continuing the work, representing the Consulate and talking and listening to people and, thus, successively expanding cooperation between Japan and the Northeast. And of course, in these meetings, I speak in Portuguese, but, unintentionally, sometimes a bit of 'gates' slips out", he warns with humor in a post on social networks.
