About
Kumamon [1] is a cartoon character of a rosy-cheeked brown bear designated as the official mascot of the Kumamoto prefecture in Japan.
Origin
Kumamon was designed by the Kumamoto government and unveiled to the public on March 12th, 2010 in an effort to promote tourism in the region.
Spread
In November 2011, Kumamon was voted the most popular mascot in Japan with more than 287,000 votes in an online poll for the annual Yuru-Kyara Grand Prix.
Notable Examples
On December 24th, 2011, FunnyJunk [16] user gedmpbass submitted a two-panel comic of Kumamon standing in front of a bonfire and the caption “Why? For the Glory of Satan of course!” In January 2012, the same image was reposted to Tumblr [17] and eBaum’s World [18], although they didn't receive much attention until it was submitted to the /r/WTF [19] subreddit on February 13th, 2012.
