Fostering 'Local Pride' through School Lunches - A Stage for Children to Act as Protagonists School lunches across Japan are packed with local food culture, agriculture, and fisheries. However, there have been few opportunities for children to realize the meaning of their school lunch and communicate it to the outside world.

The 'SchoolYell Gacha,' appearing at the Shizuoka tournament venue, is an attempt to change this conventional view. Original acrylic keychains, created by children from seven schools nationwide to convey the charm and regionality of their school lunches, will be sold as capsule toys. A portion of the proceeds will be used to support schools and educational institutions.
