I have a question about all these mascots.

Is having a mascot for your town/company/team/promotion in Japan an obligatory thing that most people don’t actually give a blind rat’s cut-off tail about but everyone has to do anyway (like having a motto for US towns or having a Vision Statement in the US corporate world), or do the Japanese people actually get into all these mascots and care about them?

When they later looked, it turned out there was never anyone inside to begin with…
