He usually lives at Izumi no Mori in Yamato City, but when there’s an event in town the festival-loving Yamato-n might just pop by to play. He is gentle and a little shy, yet often enjoys interacting with children and friends from other towns. Sometimes he holds the city flower, the Japanese aster, and sometimes he does not. He is very cute.
