Maneki Neko – It is a figurine of a cat in the form of inviting a man with his paws. It is said that those who raise their right-hand invite fortune and those who raise their left hand invite people (customers).

This is a sports bar in a certain city. My job is to watch everyone at this place next to the cash register.
Recently, the number of people stroking my head or praying something with my hands has greatly increased. The World Cup period has arrived. Many people wearing the same blue clothes come to the store.
Yes, I’m a beckoning cat. He raises his right hand and is said to be a cat that brings good luck. I was born in Ishikawa Prefecture in the Koshinetsu region, and my favorite dish is fresh oysters from the Noto Peninsula. Kutani ware is very durable because it is pottery.

Usually like this, I try to keep simple is the best while embodying football love …

As the World Cup approaches, you will definitely want to wear a uniform. I want to support you with everyone. Painting is also indispensable.

Speaking of which, there are times when the beckoning cats can rub each other, such as “It’s real that you raise your right hand!” “No, your left hand!” Is not much liked.

It is a fortune that it is said that our beckoning cats mainly invite. They are placed in various places in the house with the meaning of prosperity and amulet. Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo, which is said to be the birthplace of beckoning cats and is rumored to have many same beckoning cats like me, would like to go there once. That is my dream.

I’m not lonely during the World Cup because I have many friends. Costa Rica and Greece are all sides by side.

With all the countries participating in the 2014 World Cup, you may have my friends in your country uniforms. If you have time, please look for it. No matter where you go, we will try to bring happiness to your country.

…… I say many times, but I can only call fortune, and I cannot call for victory.
