Tokiwa Park (常盤公園, Tokiwa Kōen) is a park located in Ube City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. There are great white pelicans living in an enclosure at the park. "Katta-kun", a pelican named because his parents came from Kolkata in India, was born there in 1985 and became a mascot for the park after visiting schools nearby by himself. An anime film titled Katta-kun Monogatari was made about him in 1995. Katta-kun died in 2008.[1][2] | ||||||
