Before Christmas, Funassyi, a local character from Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, made a surprise visit to a local junior high school dressed as Santa Claus, and the children enjoyed interacting with each other.
"Funassyi" wears a Santa Claus costume at this time every year and visits child-rearing support facilities in Funabashi City. I visited Kanasugidai Junior High School, which merged with another junior high school.
About 170 people, including elementary and junior high school students and parents and children, were holding a Christmas party in the gymnasium. I was.
Funassy interacts with the children along with his younger brother Funagoro and his pet cat Funassy. The crowd was overjoyed.
A third-year junior high school girl said, "It was my first time to see or meet him in person, but he was really cute. I'm glad I was able to make fun memories at the end of my junior high school life."
Funassyi said, "On the contrary, I feel like I got a smiley gift. Jump to the bright future of children! Pear juice pusher!"
