Meet Matagi no Momiji-chan, an adorable mysterious deer from Hokkaido, ready with hunting gear. Their catchphrase is "Hunt before you're hunted!" 

"Matagi" refers to traditional Japanese winter hunters who treat the mountains with deep reverence and hunt bears in groups while following strict ancestral customs and unique terminology. Their iconic gear includes fur coats and hats decorated with bird feathers.
