“Komyaku”<\/strong> is a “character” that can be seen everywhere within the EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai Expo<\/strong> venue. Originally, “Komyaku” was an “ID element” of the Osaka Expo’s design system, created as an entity representing “life”<\/strong>. The official name<\/strong> of “Komyaku”<\/strong> is “ID”<\/strong>, derived from the word “identity”.<\/p>\n
