Cute Yet Bloodthirsty Japanese Mascot Wants You to Donate Blood

That's Kokoron-chan, a Japanese mascot to inspire people to donate blood. Leave it to the Japanese to spice up a blood donation drive with a cute (and bloodthirsty) mascot that looks a lot like the Kool-Aid Man.

Pink Tentacle has more of Japan's blood mascots: Link


I find that thing quite disturbing, and I wear a disembodied human heart for jewelry. I can comfort myself knowing I managed to get myself banned from donating for three year this summer, I suppose. Nobody wants my blood.

When I first gave blood, many years ago, the mobile clinic had a Snoopy poster on the window. Snoopy, wearing a red-lined cape, arms outspread, with the caption "Dracula LIVES".

Shame some killjoy would probably stop them doing it now.

These blood donation centers are government run. The Japanese Red Cross is different. They use celebs in their commercials not mascots
