GiGO Crane Game Oasis Unveils New Mascot

In an exciting development for crane game enthusiasts, GiGO Crane Game Oasis has officially announced the name of its new mascot, Gigomar. Selected through a public contest conducted via social media, the name was put forth by a participant known as “Hime-chan's Papa.” This new mascot, representing a lion, will serve as a friendly figure for patrons and aims to enhance the overall experience at the store.

The Contest and Winning Name

The contest took place from June 13 to June 22, 2025, attracting numerous entries from across the nation. “Gigomar” stood out due to its memorable and friendly tone, resonating well with the store’s identity. The connection between the mascot name and the store’s name, GiGO Crane Game Oasis, was also a significant factor in its selection.

Celebratory Event Announcement

To celebrate this naming achievement, a special event will be held on August 9, 2025, at the original GiGO Crane Game Oasis location in Iruma. The winner of the naming contest will join visitors for a lively day, interacting with Gigomar alongside other beloved characters such as zebras, hippos, dogs, and flamingos, who also contribute to the welcoming atmosphere within the store.

A Vision for Connection

The introduction of Gigomar is aimed at not just being a mascot but also a bridge for deeper connections with the community. Store manager Abe Sho shared his enthusiasm, expressing hopes that this character will grow alongside the love from visitors. The goal is to foster an inviting space for friends and families alike to enjoy their time together while engaging with this new character.
