"Choko Group Mascot Actor’s School, the school founded by teacher Choko
Ohira in 2005, is located in a small alleyway in the western suburbs of
Tokyo. The school is part of the namesake Choko Group, which acts both
as a training center for wannabe mascots and those who already have some
experience but want to step up their game, and as a talent agency of
sorts. Choko Group students are sent out to events ranging from store
openings to appearances at zoos, with some going on to become hotshot
mascots."
