SENTO-KUN
Jan 21st 2010 01:57
"SENTO-KUN" is an official mascot charactor of NARA prefecture's 1300th anniversary the transfer of the capital.
There are arguments both for and against the SENTO-KUN in JAPAN.
Because he has a little strange figure.
Please take a glance at the picture.
Seemingly it looks like very oriented figure.
But it feel little strange for JAPANESE.
Why I wrote this diary, because I saw SENTO-KUN in TV program a little while ago.
Whhhh...I feel queer it all the same.

"SENTO-KUN" is an official mascot character of NARA prefecture's the1300th anniversary of the transfer of the capital to Nara.[Probably just "mascot" is fine; "mascot character" sounds a little redundant in English.]
There are arguments both for and against the Sento-kun in Japan.[If Sento-kun is a name then you don't need "the".]
Because he has a little slightly strange figure.[Use "slightly" unless you literally mean that his figure is small.]
Seemingly It looks like a very oriented figure.[Or: "It seems..."][I'm not sure what you mean by an "oriented" figure.}
But it feels a little strange for Japanese people.
Why I wrote this diary, because I saw Sento-kun on a TV program a little while ago.
I feel it is queer it all the same.
I remember hearing about all this drama back when he was first designed. He seems rather...intricate and odd for a character, which are usually cute and simple. I understand that they wanted to represent both buddhism and the deer, but other places have two complimenting characters...why couldn't they just have buddha and a deer? @0@
Thank you!!! I've learned a great deal.
ありがとう、とても勉強になりました。
At first,Sento-kun was very unpopularity,
最初せんとくんはとても人気がなかったけど、
but now Japanese comedy band "TKO" imitates Sento-kun (picture1),
今は日本のお笑い「ＴＫＯ」さんがせんとくんを真似ています（写真1）
after that Sento-kun became rising in popularity.
それからはせんとくんの人気が出始めています。
