## What is "Sunaokun" the PR Manager?

"Sunaokun" was born as Sunayama Express's brand character. The origin of his name is a combination of "Suna" from "Sunayama" (sand mountain) and "Sunao" from "Sunaosa" (honesty), a value the company cherishes. Dressed in a green superhero suit, holding a dumbbell in one hand and luggage in the other, his appearance truly embodies "Sunayama-ness," where "strength and honesty coexist."
