Falulu

Falulu was the former Female mascot of the Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes. She was designed by Hannah Barbera studio's in 1997 when the Buffaloes rebranded from their iconic yet unsettling Bovine logo that was first used all the way back in 1959! She apparently resides in a place called Buffalo Valley. It's where most anthropormorphic Bovine's such as Falulu enjoy tons of fun adventures and have limited worries about the world around them. Unfortunately, those fun times came to an end in 2004 once the Orix Blue Wave decided to merge with the Buffaloes. Thus creating the Orix Buffaloes. This merger SHOOK the entire Japanese baseball world because it caused an imbalance of teams in both the Central and Pacific League. However that changed once the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles came into the NPB's Pacific League later that year. Back to Falulu. Her personality during the 1990's is pretty much like any other Japanese baseball mascot. Lively, Cheery, Optimistic, Easy-Going, Affectionate etc. But nowadays she's more cynical, logical, no nonsense and fierce...Her favorite baseball club is defunct at the expense of greedy billionaires at Orix....How dystopian....The worst part is that she didn't even get the chance to see the Buffaloes win a Japan Series title. The closest to that becoming a reality was in 2001.
