With your vote, help Keyaki-kun’s dream bloom!#ナウルくんと友達 #けやきくん #西宮市キャラクター選挙 pic.twitter.com/rSFxr15bJG— 水間印刷所 (@mizumainsatsu) October 23, 2025
Keyaki-kun was created by Mr. Mizuma of Mizuma Printing Shop.
To support Keyaki-kun as a whole community (Koshien Keyaki Promenade),
they’ve even set up a campaign office.
What’s more, if you vote for Keyaki-kun, you can get an incredibly cute Keyaki-kun badge for free at the campaign office! There’s no Public Offices Election Act for character elections! lol
