Every year, Japan holds a Grand Prix for town/province mascot characters, such as Kumamon who represents Kumamoto. There is a separate category for company mascots as well, and this year the Grand Prix has an unlikely candidate in the form of Prinny, the mascot of Nippon Ichi Software.
Furthermore, Nippon Ichi Software tweeted that depending on the rank that Prinny gets in the Grand Prix, the grander the projects they have planned with Prinny.
