WCH Tokyo 25 Mascot workshop
World Athletics Championships tokyo 25 (WCH Tokyo 25) media partner and principle supporter, TBS Television, Inc. has been commissioned to develop a mascot for next year's Championships, which will be held in September 2025.
WCH Tokyo 25 and TBS will work together to develop an exciting and endearing mascot that will create a sense of anticipation for the 20th edition of the World Athletics Championships.
Designers from TBS held a mascot design workshop at a local elementary school in Tokyo to gather ideas from local children, who will provide inspiration for the image of the Tokyo 25 mascot.
School children came together and created their favourite designs while talking with the designers. They expressed their ideas through illustrations and text, ultimately completing their own unique mascots.
The official mascot for WCH Tokyo 25 will be developed based on the children's ideas, with plans to have the design finalised by the end of 2024.
A video showcasing the workshop and production process will also be released at the unveiling of the mascot 2D design event, along with a public vote on the mascot name.
The Tokyo 25 mascot character will be adored by all, bringing a kind and familiar face to the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25, encouraging people and children from all backgrounds to participate in this once in a lifetime event.
