Japan rugby World Cup unveils mythical, lion-like mascots
The countdown continues to the latest edition of rugby's showpiece event with New Zealand set to defend their title in the first-ever Asian World Cup.
The 2019 World Cup in Japan is a little over 18 months away and officials have revealed the mascots for that tournament, "Ren" and "G".
The mascots, named "Ren" and 'G, ' were unveiled on Friday by local organisers and similar depictions often appear in traditional Japanese theatre.
"Ren", with a white mane, is the parent of child "G", whose mane is red, and the pair bounced up and down, trading high-fives and passing a rugby ball back and forth at a press conference in Tokyo. "It took about two years to develop its concept", said Akira Shimazu, CEO of the organizing committee.
