i love hotels. when i walk through hotel hallways with their quiet walls and flat carpets and the smell of the chlorine from the pool i transcend space and time and find peace.

The Yuru-Chara Grand Prix 2017 (ゆるキャラグランプリ2017) opened for entries earlier this month. You can browse the current entries here, and the site is updated every day or so.

This year’s schedule:

  • 8th May: Open for entries
  • 24th July: Deadline for entries
  • 1st August: Public voting starts
  • 10th November: Public voting ends
  • 18th-19th November: Run-off voting and awards ceremony in Kuwana, Mie Prefecture

Pictured is a random selection of current entries:

  1. Tsukihashi Wataru (月橋渡) - a bridge boy, based on the Togetsukyō bridge in picturesque Arashiyama, Kyoto
  2. Unari-kun (うなりくん) from Narita, Chiba - at 7 years old he’s a true yuru-chara veteran (that’s pretty old in this business!), and has been in the Grand Prix since the start (2011), but has yet to break the top ten
  3. Potekuma-kun (ポテくまくん) from Chichibu, Saitama - some sort of potato bear (local speciality “miso potato” to be precise), placed 76th last year
  4. Takinomichi Yuzuru (滝ノ道ゆずる) from Minoh, Osaka - another veteran, and at 5th place in 2016 he is the highest-ranking character to re-enter so far
  5. Yairo-chan (やいろちゃん) of Mitani Corporation, a construction company based in Kochi - seems to be getting a lot more exposure these days thanks to neighbour Shinjō-kun’s success last year. 165th in 2016
  6. Hiyawan (ひやわん) from Nabari, Mie Prefecture - a dog with a face like a noh mask, placed 437th last year
