Ms Momoko Sakura is fascinated by this town

GJ8man, a local character created by Ms Momoko Sakura, the author of “Little Maruko-chan”, with the image of Gujo Hachiman. In addition to animation, it is also a package of goods and souvenirs, and is very popular with local children! Ms Momoko Sakura says, “I love Gujo Hachiman too much, so I drew this character without being asked.” Not only the fun of the characters but also the scenery, townscapes, people, festivals, etc. of Gujo Hachiman, which Ms Sakura loved in the animation, are the highlights.
