Kouenji’s mascot Psyche Delhi-san takes on Tomato Ningen, the human/tomato slice.
Last month I went to a mascot event in Kouenji, a grungy corner of Tokyo known for its live music scene and second-hand clothes shops. Appropriately for the location, the mascots in attendance were mostly obscure or unofficial. The highlight of the day was a wrestling tournament held in front of the station, during which the furry characters battled each other with amusingly clumsy and uncoordinated piledrivers and chokeslams.
