Concept:
Olympic mascots are characters, usually animals or human figures, that represent the culture and spirit of the host city. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics had two separate mascots: one for the Olympics and one for the Paralympics.
Step 1:Identifying the Tokyo 2020 Olympic mascot.}
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (held in 2021 due to COVID-19 delay) introduced:
- Miraitowa – The official mascot for the Olympics
- Someity – The official mascot for the Paralympics
The name "Miraitowa" is derived from the Japanese words "mirai" (future) and "towa" (eternity), symbolizing eternal hope for a bright future.
Step 2:Evaluating each option.}
- Cobot: This is not a Tokyo 2020 mascot. "Cobot" refers to collaborative robots used in industry.
- Doll: Too generic; not the official name of any Olympic mascot.
- Miraitowa: Correct – the official Olympic mascot for Tokyo 2020.
- Someity: This is the Paralympic mascot, not the Olympic mascot.
Step 3:Conclusion.}
Since the question specifically asks for the
Olympics mascot (not Paralympics), the correct answer is Miraitowa, option (C).
