Report from last year’s event

This is the quiz show by “Sakana no Kawachan”!

The person who came from the farthest away was, amazingly, from Shimane Prefecture!

Here’s what the autograph session looked like.

This is the Suizoku Pan! It’s a turtle.

Maybe this one is a sea otter?

Finally

The “Kawachan Quiz Show” is being held for the second year in a row after last year. It’s a super popular event, so if you’re thinking, “I want to go!”, it’s a good idea to arrive early!
