"Jankenman" is a local hero beloved by the people of Kagoshima Prefecture. Having come from the Janken Kingdom with a mission to cheer everyone, Jankenman participates in not only the local events but also other prefectures' cleaning activities and volunteer work in disaster-affected areas and delivers smiles to many.

To assist his activities, we installed a special wrapping volunteer- support vending machine at Yaoki Shokudo in Nishibeppu-cho, Kagoshima City.

The vending machine is designed with Jankenman and his rock, paper, and scissors, and makes people happy only by looking at it. Also, when you purchase products from this vending machine, part of the proceeds will be used for Jankenman's volunteer activities.

In celebration of the installation of the first unit, an unveiling ceremony was held on November 14 (Sat) with the attendance of our Kagoshima Sales Center Manager Miyamori who then cut the ribbon with Jankenman and Yaoki Shokudo manager.
