Introducing our Mascot “Há-sha”

Há-sha

Há-sha is a fairy and a trainee at 84(háshí)
She is 1and 1/2-year-old and her character is innocent.
Há-sha was made out of 84’s number “8” with the image of a snowman shape in Japan. She is all white but turns pink when she becomes drunk and changes colors as her emotion becomes strong.
She is a hard worker. She pushes herself to carry piled plates.
Usually, she trots on the floor and
at times, she may float to serve guests.
Há-sha has been created and designed by Ms. Atsuko Nishida. A lady who has introduced Pikáchu and numerous other Pokémons to the world.
