BLAST has produced “Pentaurus-kun”, a character in support of “Modern pentathlon”, an official Olympics game.
The character is equipped with a motif from each event under modern pentathlon.
In particular, the lower body representing equestrian show jumping is made of a light material,
designed to accommodate the wearer’s movement. The feature allows the wearer to pose for photo shooting,
realizing a realistic horse body specifically built for usability.
“Pentaurus-kun” was created by Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd., an official noodle partner of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics,
in support of modern pentathlon (kindai-goshu in Japanese), which suffers poor recognition in Japan.
Together with Gospellers, the character has formed a special unit called “Kinda-Goshu-pellers”
to promote modern pentathlon for Tokyo 2020.
