Mascots
Ishikari's mascots are Saketaro (さけ太郎) and Sakeko (さけ子). They are kappas who dressed up as salmons and loved Ishikari pot (a hotpot). They loved events that occurred in the city and all around the world (not just Japan).[7]
- Saketaro is a blue kappa. He can communicate with sea animals and humans alike. His body contains docosahexaenoic acid (the same nutrient found in fishes) which has various health benefits. As a result, he has a "DHA" tattoo on his torso. He is first discovered in 1996.
- Sakeko is a pink kappa. Her body contains eicosapentaenoic acid (the same nutrient found in fishes) which smoothens blood. As a result, she wears a "EPA" dress. Her charm point is her luxurious ribbon that she wears on her head and long eyelashes. The year of her discovery is still unknown.
