Expressed in green to represent the passion for the environment cultivated through the Aichi Expo and other events.

Expressing the burning passion of para athletes in warm colors

The name “Honohon” comes from the word “ho” (ho), which is said to be the origin of the word “flame” (the appearance of a fire rising high and burning in a flash), and also conveys a sense of familiarity.

Big eyes always watching over the achievements of athletes
Shachihoko-like ears that can hear children’s laughter and cheers for athletes

From “Uzu” and “Izumi”. It is our hope that the passion of para athletes will come together in a whirlpool, and that the excitement will flow like a fountain and spread.

A head shaped like a killer whale and a large eye that always watches over the success of para-athletes, and a head that has the mysterious power of a guardian deity.
He has a competitive personality and will take on any challenge until he overcomes it, no matter how difficult it may be.

To perform a technique, it is important to shift the center of gravity by pulling on the opponent’s sleeves!
It is said that athletes can tell the strength of their opponent just by grappling with each other.

I felt the power of a gold medalist!
