Miraitowa and Someity

Miraitowa is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Olympics, and Someity is the official mascot of the 2020 Summer Paralympics. The events were held in Tokyo, Japan, in 2021. The checkered design on both mascots was inspired by the Tokyo 2020 official logo, which uses a checkered pattern called ichimatsu moyo that was popular during the Edo period. Someity's pink design was inspired by cherry blossoms. Both fictional characters have various superpowers, such as teleportation.
