This Chaotic Japanese Mascot Has Been Buying Ads On X To Protect People From Bad Advertising

Chiitan☆, a Japanese mascot that describes itself as a 0-year-old fairy baby otter, has undertaken the mission of saving people on X, formerly known as Twitter, from bad advertisements.

Chiitan☆, who has over 1.9 million followers on X, first appeared in 2017 and had a brief job as the sightseeing ambassador of Japan’s city of Susaki, Kochi.

She was later “fired” after authorities deemed the mascot a bad influence due to her chaotic and dangerous stunts that frequently went viral on Twitter.

Chiitan☆ has described herself as Japan’s “crazy mascot” on social media and has become a bit of a cult icon online.

She has spoken openly about transgender issues, the war in Ukraine and even the crisis in Venezuela.

In recent years, her videos have gone more viral after she began pushing her videos as ads on X, which has been flooded with ads since Elon Musk took over the platform in 2022.

In the ads, Chiitan☆ says she has given herself the job as “the god of advertising who was born to drive out advertising in the world”, adding that she isn’t selling products, but hopes people have a good laugh.

Almost reached out to Chiitan☆ for comment regarding her ads, but Chiitan☆ declined to comment.

“Chiitan☆ always gives an interview if the interview concerns Chiitan☆s, or Chiitan☆s magical existence! However, most of your questions do not relate to the magical essence of Chiitan☆, so we are forced to refrain from participating in your interview,” Chiitan☆’s guardian team said.
