his summer the world
turns its eyes to Tokyo,
Japan. Why? That’s
where the Summer
Olympics will be held
starting on Friday, July 23.
Olympic Mascots
Miraitowa is the official mascot of the 2021
Summer Olympics. Miraitowa comes from two
Japanese words, mirai meaning future and
towa meaning eternity. Miraitowa has a
personality inspired by the Japanese proverb,
“learn from the past and develop new ideas.”
Miraitowa is cheerful, athletic, and has
a special power.
Someity is the official mascot of the Summer
Paralympic Games. Someity is named after
somieyoshino, a type of cherry blossom. Its name
also sounds like the English phrase, so mighty.
Someity is calm, quiet, and has enormous mental
and physical strength. Someity represents the
Paralympic athletes who overcome obstacles and
achieve things once thought impossible.
