Ikuo Kabashima, 77, has been governor of Kumamoto Prefecture since April 2008, during which time he has turned Kumamon into a world-famous mascot.
Now, at the end of his 16-year term, he hugs and shakes hands with the staff and Kumamon, and says goodbye.

One of the specialties of Hokuto City is the Hokyoshi shellfish, and one of the ways to eat them is to make them into sushi, and the local people hope to become popular.
