Nyango Star is one of Japan’s most popular mascots, but you might know him best as a meme.

He’s an apple that’s been inhabited by the spirit of a dead cat, and he absolutely shreds on the drums. Very cute but also very metal.

Nyango Star is what’s known in Japan as a yuru-chara — which translates loosely to “chill mascot.”

Japanese yuru-chara can represent everything from police departments to restaurants to government initiatives.

Nyango Star represents Kuroishi City — a farming community in Japan’s northern prefecture of Aomori — where the population is declining and aging. But Kuroishi’s mayor is hoping Nyango Star’s viral success will help the shrinking town maintain economic viability.
