It seems like most every store/ business/ company in Japan has its own mascot character.
“Create” (a drug store chain) is no exception. Their mascot, seen around the shop and on seasonal coloring pages kids can do at home and then bring back tithe store to have them displayed, is a very cheerful hippo. I can’t recall any associations between hippos and health – and there probably aren’t any – which means the character choice makes as much sense as any of the hundreds of other mascots.
None.
But at least it’s cute.
