Meet the Olympic Mascots

The two Olympic mascots Miraitowa and Someity were chosen by students in Japan.

The Olympic and Paralympic mascots were chosen by 16,769 elementary school children who voted on their favourite designs.

The Olympic mascot, known as Miraitowa, is designed with the classic Japanese indigo blue.

The Paralympic mascot, on the other hand, is known as Someity, which features the same pink as Japan's famous cherry blossoms.
