I want Polly to eat the corn out of my shit
threado wa mo shindeiru
buffalo boobers
>>5420466
oh fuck
I love when she wears that black shirt
>>5420647
Those mascots sure do like bald folk.
Time to shave the noggin and get some Fighters tickets.
>>5420647
holy shit i didn't know that bald azns existed outside of kung fu movies
who /skinhead/ here?
>>5423096
Not yet but it's very tempting.

>>5430328
i love it when they look really defeated like this
>>5438206
That skirt is the perfect length
>>5438322
Skirts that go over the tail are better than skirts with tail holes.
>>5438425
Also true

>>5433893
>>5441655
>>5442171
the source of those was a blog with years of entries, so Im not going to be able to see what was written
my guess is that those are from stage events where Bell lost some little game or something
>>5442271
do you still have a link?

yeah

>losing players and ratings to major league baseball
damn
does MLB even have any cute mascots?
>>5458582
It doesn't seem like they do. Most sports mascots are ugly as sin. Japan seems to be the only place that tries to make them visually appealing.
>>5460752
i'd say >>5442435 is ugly but isnt he designed by an american who used the same design for a major league mascot?
too bad cuteness isnt enough to keep them afloat
>>5461098
He's literally a copy of the Philly Phanatic, who was apparently voted as the greatest MLB mascot ever because they have shit taste. Slyly is even supposedly played by a guy from Phillie.
frep dong
>>5462951
foxes have tiny dicks, seems legit enough
>>5463026
It's not fair to judge a dick based on soft bugle
>>5467165
He's a grower, not a show-er.
Cringe of the day, brought to you by DeviantArt.
>>5469033
if that is what you want, then why would you even like Bell in the first place?
just stick to Tsubakuro's sister, not thin a girl
>>5463077
it's ok frep
i have a small dick too
>>5469033
how does a robot get fat?

new lions mascots?

>>5477260
>>5478850
just visitors
>>5479446
>>5485774
play him off keyboard squirrel
takes a picture like this, but doesnt upload a high rez version
welp, there are 5 games tonight, and then tomorrow there are 3 that I think are make up games and 2 more the day after that to wrap the regular season
looks like the playoffs have been set for awhile tho
so this has to be an illusion right? that looks like an entire areola
but that couldnt show through her whole outfit, plus it's alittle too low, I think?
>>5485763
it's cool that they made them huge lions uniforms for them
>>5488855
Just an illusion. Nipples aren't real.
>>5492471
whats this bear for again?
something life?
is the company like the bufalloes sponsor or something? i never see him with any other teams
>>5492736
Apparently he's called Ponta, a mascot for the rewards card of a convenience store chain called Lawson. They're probably minor sponsors of some of the teams, so they drag him out for marketing.
>>5493288
If her shirt is thin enough to show the color of an areola through it then we'd be seeing a lot more of the rest of her torso through it too. The bright orange on her arms would be bleeding through and making the fabric look like wax paper.
>>5493527
oh cool thanks anon
i remember when i was in japan there was like a lawson on every other block that didnt already have a seven eleven
>>5493527
Just realized I misread your other post. I agree with it.
>>5496224
is one of them the player BB keeps butt touching?
I see the drawthreads are out of control again.
>>5498530
It's already pushing off some threads I liked off the board.
God I fucking hate spoodo.
At least I hope this one won't die.
>>5499019
what other threads did you hang around in?
i could try keep an eye out and bump them too
>tfw we'll never see the trians ever again
Is it fine to post the Wakayama Trians mascots here too, considering they were made by the same team who created Bull and Bell?
I think the classic looks suits Polly the best. Also, rare neck shot.
>>5502096
But isnt this more classic?
I havent seen Polly in a bad looking outfit, but my favorite are School Girl, Kimono, Cowgirl
>>5504229
>School Girl, Kimono, Cowgirl
It's safe to say that any good mascot would look great in one of those outfits.
>>5497970
I dunno
all rook same
shes just about to grab them and squeeze
>>5506515
I like when I find multiple people taking the same shot
>>5502071
the twins are fine, anything vaguely related is probably fine
even japanese pepsi was getting more discussion here than the mascots
>>5507804
What is she a mascot for?
>>5507804
>Japanese Pepsi
What?
>>5510628
There was a brief discussion several threads back about Japan getting a new kind of Pepsi with five times the carbonation in a bottle half the size.
>>5510725
I actually had some while in Japan and it is underwhelming. Your checks will inflate when you sip, but the actual texture of the liquid is pretty much the same. Also didn't notice a difference in hold time, feels like it gets flat in the same time as normal version. Still had it everyday, as I am a Pepsi guy.
>>5510725
oh ok i thought there might have been some sort of japanese pepsi mascot
>>5510901
There is.
>>5509200
I can't go back and get the details right now, but she isn't a mascot, she's from a play or some stage production, that may or may not be part of Japanese disney
>>5510885
Pretty jelly. How about Sakura Pepsi?
>>5511129
The coke mascot is fucked, can't remember if she was from Japan or Korea tho
>>5513781
That could be the start of a Halloween costume for him
>>5513781
does that dude in the background have a plushie down the front of his pants?
>>5514371
It's actually something hanging down from his neck. If you look closely, you can see the cords going up from it.
coca cola sparks, japanese rugby team
>>5515644
cute pose
>>5515215
What is that supposed to be, and how is it supposed to make me want to drink cola?
>>5515215
Coca cola has the shittiest mascots.
t. pepsiman
>>5514371
It looks like one of the Softbank Hawk mascots, either Harry or Hock.
She's covered wars, y'know.
>>5519568
>>5519651
スパークイーン is her name, google translate it to Spar Queen, but I doubt that is the proper westernization, if she even has one
I like to watch her leave, but I'd love to see come
ugh didnt know that the nips adopted hover hand
>>5522532
The most terrifying part of that image is the metal latch on the mask.
look at the biceps on this guy
>>5522399
It could be a portmanteau, with the ク meant to be part of both スパーク for spark and クイーン for queen, though any attempts to keep that in English end up looking stupid. Ignoring the wordplay and just going with Spark Queen is probably what I'd do.
Alternatively, it could just be a female equivalent of Sparky, the male mascot's name, though I'm not sure of a good way to westernize that.
Pacific League champs
cant tell if Polly has a new red outfit or if the contrast is messed up and it's her pink one
>>5515215
I think I like her.
better luck next year Bell
>>5525379
>last in their division
Poor Buffaloes.
>>5525501
>last in their division
but first in my heart.
>>5528971
What a slut
>>5530059
Yes you are, anon. :-)
>>5532277
That's a pretty nice champion shirt
too bad the other mascots don't get one
I finally caved in an made a Yuru-chara general myself, if anyone's interested in posting cute or cool mascots from Japan that aren't sports based like NPB.
>>5532696
>>5532805
Nah, we should just allow them here. Maybe change it to japanese mascots general.
We're slow enough anyway.
>>5532805
>>5532835
what do you guys think of the current 2016 yuru grand prix leader
i think his name is read Shinjou-kun. from what i can understand he is a japanese river otter and is searching for japanese river otter friends which are actually extinct
i cant read the area he represents 高知県須崎市
>>5458182
The Lions' stadium is apparently pretty far out of the way and if you work a 9 to 5 job in Tokyo you won't get out in time to attend weekday games
>>5532835
Hrmmm...sounds reasonable enough. We pretty much get enough bumps than posts around here. I suppose we could change it up for once.
something about the cat with the huge grin in this picture disturbs me
Since we're considering retooling these threads for all kinds of Japanese mascots, might as well post these. I downloaded this pic long ago, but these shiba inu characters are soccer mascots of some kind, I think?
Pretty old theme park mascots. I forgot what, but I believe this was designed by the same one who did Polly and Frep?? They sorta have a similar eye and mouth shape.
long-retired JR West Kyoto Station mascot, Scala. Seem familiar?
Now more basketball. Seahorses Mikawa mascot, "Seahorse-kun". Looks more "Sonic" than any of the mascots I've seen here.
Hitachi SunRockers.
The mascot in the center is Sundy, beside him are Windy and Candy. I've sorta mixed feelings about their designs.
Nishinomiya Storks' mascot
>>5538844
lovely digits, sir. But yeah, it'd be better if they improved Windy and Candy's design more. Like, enough that it's a perfectly equal blend of cute AND sexy without being overbearing. The yarn hair just doesn't work...
And the seahorse literally looks like your typical Sonic OC you'd find lurking the depths of DeviantArt. BURN THAT SHIT.
>>5538964
I don't believe they made a suit of the Stork yet. I've only gotten so far as finding something that looks to be one of his shoes.
Levanga Hokkaido's "Levird".
>>5538399
why didnt they make the pink one a girl
>>5539157
I thought she was??
Back to yuru chara, here's Shibasaki Saki, guardian dog mascot native to Chofu City.
>>5539183
that first shot looks like a man
second picture is a good change
>>5539391
could may as well be how big her jersey and socks are.
>>5509200
I went back and looked and she is from a theme park called Everland in South Korea
>>5540606
guy in bg with boner
I dont blame him
which mascot has the best ass?
>>5540606
I can't tell where I should focus...her face, her huge fucking feet coming towards the camera, or the guy in the background with the boner. I still wonder if Polly should have claw-like feet like an actual squirrel or generic cartoon paws.
>>5540803
I think best ass goes to Lina.
I hope for Polly to not have gnarly squirrel toes.
mascots for a Japanese theme park called "Space World". They were designed by Susumu Matsushita, whose style takes inspiration from American media, which explain the cartoony style.
on a side note he also did the Buffaloes' previous mascots
>>5540933
I assume the previous ones from him were the boy and girl, neppie and ripsea, they had a pretty similar style to those two
Falulu's designer should be in charge of all mascot endeavors
what happens next
>>5541290
RAPE
>>5538399
They're not shiba inus but instead a breed called Akita. Those mascots also got retired when the team went from being TDK S.C. to Blaublitz Akita and changed them to some ugly fucking thing.
>>5541431
I mean just look at this fucker. They dropped two cute mascots for this chump.
Also, if we're going to start including the whole spectrum of Japanese mascots, I'd like to suggest we keep calling the threads /npb/ just to keep them bundled and organized in the archives.
>>5541431
>>5541476
Aye thanks.
Didn't know they got rid of them. Kind of a dick move though. This shady fucker looks like your basic American sports mascot to me.
A mascot for the South Korean "Everland" theme park. Not Japanese, but I've seen a few Japanese users tweet pics of mascots from this park.
Also, if you can see, there's a bit of skin showing underneath the leggings.
*reposted cause of a typo I accidentally made
Internet is over.
You guys have been swell.
>>5541431
>retired
fuck
why must all the good ones go away
>>5545673
It's a sad inevitability of time. Teams will come and go and so will their mascots.
One day, even the current crew will be put into storage, be it to make way for a replacement like Buffie and Falulu or permanently like the Trians.
>>5539391
Most female soccer players look like men honestly
>>5542563
Oh Korea, so close, yet so far
Anyone making plans for Halloween?
>>5548961
i'll probably just stay home and give out candy
it's not that big in my country
>>5548961
Either sit out any give candy or leave a couple bowls and go to bed
>>5548961
Probably same thing I usually do nowadays: Spend money on a costume and booze for a party, find out last minute that the party was canceled or some other reason why I can't go to a party, and then just sit at home getting drunk and masturbating to questionable porn.
>>5545673
For preservation sake, seems like their names are Eito (brown) and Eru (pink). It's a pity they got rid of them because she's got some big ol' tiddies.
>>5548961
Literally just being a fucking NEET like always and probably hand out candy
The Hyogo Prefectural Police mascots, Kouhe-kun & Mamori-chan. Although the oriental stork became extinct in Japan around 1971, it it a well-known symbol of Hyogo.
According to Idleidol.net, "Good news is that in May 2007 a hatchling was born in the area. The chick was the offspring of two storks who were bred in captivity in a breeding park called Konotori no Sato Park, part of an effort to reintroduce the bird to the area."
>>5550752
the actual suits
Semba Lily (船場リリィ), resident mascot of the Semba Center Building and symbol of the "Aunts of Osaka" culture (Osaka no Obachan/大阪のおばちゃん).
>>5550757
>>5550790
holy fuck that's lewd
>>5550816
nothing wrong with MILF kitty showing off her rack once in a while.
besides, it's Japan.
>>5550816
>>5550830
plus she's gotten lewd fanart of her already on pixiv, but really there's only few images drawn of her, most of which are lewd.
>>5550899
another by the same artist
>>5550908
different artist. the same artist who made this one also did quite a bit of chubby mascot art as well (more specifically Lina for the most part, and a little bit of Bell too)
>>5550914
>>5545223
thanks obama
another SK theme park mascot from "Lotte World" named Lorry. Don't care much for the actual suit itself, but her artwork is pretty cute. Sorta gives me a "Polly Polaris and Minnie Mouse crossed over with a raccoon" vibe to it.
>>5551323
did the fighters lose again?

Is it more depressing to think about cartoon girls that you can never have, but at least you have their nonexistence as an excuse why you can never be with them and nothing you do matters
Or here with real live girls, that any of us could see or touch with enough hard work, but realistically could never be with, and just here making excuses, while they are probably married, getting fucked regularly, while we do nothing, not even trying to get a giant plushie, or a suit made to dress up a real doll
I think I know which

We've still got the playoffs next week. I'm hoping the Baystars can beat out the Giants.
The Carp will probably win the series though.
>>5564697
So you know roughly what day and time the bay stars giants game is on? I kinda want to watch and cheer on the baystars even though I don't really get baseball
>>5566589
Baystar's next game is in a weeks time. This'll give you the correct time and day for your region.
http://www.scoreboard.com/baseball/japan/npb/fixtures/
Hawks and Eagles have a match in an hour.
>>5566762
thanks anon
Maybe Polly and Kirara can make the finals. It's a rare pairing
>>5568863
hand getting a little low there, starman
Eagles beat the Hawks 7-0.
Quite a beating.
Source is "Female Petting Zoo", these two pages are the only ones that have any of the mascots though.
>>5571513
I meant "Female safari petting zoo"
>>5570658
too bad the Eagles are 8 games down from the playoffs
>>5571519
Thats a fucking cute Polly, too bad about the dick and jizz on the other page
>>5571840
>>5571513
>>5571530
Do you have a link? I'm not finding anything with just the name.
>>5571920
I am a complete fuckwit, it's actually called "Female Safari Park Petting".

But man, NPB and Solatorobo in the same doujin. If it had more than just two small pages of the NPB mascots, it could've been perfect.
>>5572101
No, but here's an alternate link:
https://hitomi.la/galleries/560318.html
>>5572101
That particular link doesn't work for me, it says it has been removed.
>>5572777
I just want to touch it.
>>5572802
i want to use her tail as a pillow
>>5572829
I'd use her entire body as a pillow. Like, I'd really like to cuddle with Polly in bed.
>>5572902
Sure
"cuddle"
>>5572918
Well, I....eh, um...depends on how she would like me to "cuddle" her.
life is too depressing
how tall do you suppose each mascot would be if they were real anthros and not performers in sweaty animal suits?
>>5573357
Leo bigger
Bull maybe a foot smaller, Bell abit smaller than that
BB bigger, but smaller than Leo
Polly alittle bit shorter
Human size is fine
>>5573357
i think their proper heights are listed in their profiles
>>5572365
That's because trying to get around the sad panda by going to e-hentai to view it doesn't work when it has a tag that e-hentai doesn't allow.
slow bread
please don't tell me i'm the only one here

>>5573770
canonically Polly should at least be a head shorter than BB
>>5580756
i don't know, we're getting pretty close to 300 soon...maybe we should just stop here
>>5578677
Hoping that Fighters and Baystar make it to the finale
I'd like the marines to win one game
carp, giants, and hawks can suck it
>>5578788
I like how even they get the names wrong
>>5578976
1 cute girl out of 6 teams :/
>>5581102
you sure that isnt supposed to be her as a child squirrel
>>5586026
I'm hoping the Baystars can at least beat the Giants. They probably won't win against the Carp but it'd be nice if they did.
>hawks can suck it
fite me irl
>>5586329
What'd you say, Anon?
I hope they don't shit on you, Anon
Shit hawks. Big, dirty shit hawks. They're coming, Anon. They're flying in low. They're swooping down, shitting on people and dragging them off to the big shit nest.
I think this is correct
and a blank to fill out what you think will happen or hope for
I doubt it will happen, but this is what I would like

>>5592156
nice eye detail, they dont normally show up very clearly
bump limit
You can still win that cup, Starman.
>>5594214
poor Kirara
same predicament as bride of frankenstein
>>5594446
She's just playing hard to get.
>>5594475
hard for starman to get
maybe not so much otherwise
So should we become the japanese mascots general? Perhaps keep the name, /npb/ sounds nostalgic.
>>5595889
I'd still call it npb
if I made the next thread I would probably keep the op the same except maybe something like
>A thread solely for posting any mascot related to Japanese baseball from both Central and Pacific League teams And also other mascots are ok too
>>5595941
I also vote to keep calling the threads /npb/.
It might be good to clarify the "other mascot" part, lest we end up becoming a fursuit general. Maybe something like...
>A thread solely for posting Japanese mascots from Nippon Professional Baseball and other Japanese sports, businesses and culture.
>>5594241
He'll never win the Kirara cup though
