It was only a matter of time when the Japanese government was going to create the new post “Anime Amabassador” to harness the power of pop culture in diplomacy. The unusual government post to promote Japanese culture through anime to the rest of the world, went to one of Japan’s best loved and most popular creatures Doraemon.
Japanese Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura appointed the popular cartoon robot cat as “anime ambassador,” handing a human-sized Doraemon doll an official certificate at an inauguration ceremony, along with dozens of “dorayaki” red bean pancakes — his favorite dessert — piled on a huge plate.
Doraemon — through voice actress Wasabi Mizuta, who spoke from behind a sliding paper screen — promised Komura that “Through my cartoons, I hope to convey to people abroad what ordinary Japanese people think, our lifestyles and what kind of future we want to build.”
On the updated English language website for FujiTVKids website, it describes Gachapin as a sports loving 5 year old child dinosaur from a tropical island whilst Mukku is described as a always hungry 5 year child bigfoot from an island near the North Pole.
