Mascot[edit]

Pi-tan, the town's mascot

Nakasatsunai's mascot is Pi-tan (ピータン). He is a baby chick. His face looks like an egg, his eyes are like beans, and his shoes are made of potatoes (these agricultural products are products of the town). Although he usually wears a top hat and carries a lily of the valley, he can change into other clothes. His favorite hobbies are climbing mountains, farming, judo and attending festivals. He was unveiled in March 1991.[2]
