Do you know that Japanese just love mascots – you’ll find them everywhere in Japan, even the government has them as their spokespersons.
Kyuta
Above: Kyuta is the mascot for Tokyo Fire Department. He is dedicated in detecting emergency calls in Tokyo with his antenna-equipped headgear.
Prince Pickles
Above: Prince Pickles, mascot for Ministry of Defence, has his own comic books.
Pipo-kun
Above: The mascot for Tokyo Metropolitan Police, Pipo-kun, even has his own song!
Mascots were once part and parcel of many Singaporean’s childhood. You won’t find them unfamiliar. Well they do seem to have a queer liking for running (or flying) around butt naked, obviously they don’t hang out often with SpongeBob SquarePants 
A&W Bear
Singa the Courtesy Lion
Teamy the Productivity Bee
Being a Japanese spa, Ikeda needs our very own mascot. That’s how I was born.
Hello everyone. My name is Okami-san. Nice to meet you. Below is my simple bio.
| Name: | Okami-san |
| Birthplace: | Kyoto, Japan |
| Birthday: | 2 Jan, 2009 |
| Favourite Food: | Kaiseki Ryori (Traditional Japanese cuisine) |
| Favourite Drink: | Gyokuro (“Jade Dew” green tea) |
| Favourite Song: | Sakura Sakura |
| Favourite TV Drama: | Watashi wo Ryokan ni Tsuretete (Bring Me to the Hotel) |
| Hobbies: | Chado (Japanese tea making), getting customers feel at home, being massaged, giving massage |

| Profile: |
Okami-san is the figurative representation of our staff who not only bear the greatest responsibility for waiting on and taking care of you as our Okyaku-sama but also making sure your every visit to Ikeda is a unique yet homecoming experience. Her kimono and smile is a reflection of Ikeda’s culture based on the spirit of hospitality, inculcated to every members of Ikeda. She is our inspiration to serve our customers with extreme courtesy and respect, embracing the true meaning behind Japanese saying of “okyakusama wa kamisama desu“, literally translated into “the customer is God”. |

In case you called this afternoon and got a busy tone… we were closed for lunch because we decided to went for a swim today. Well, actually, the swimming pool came to us!
Swimming pool at the doorstep
The rain god had a big night yesterday and woke up with a massive hangover with a huge load of p***. What seemed a normal beautiful day quickly turned ugly, we were besieged by tsunami of “lokang” (drain) water in our little spa. Not resigning to fate, our calm-minded therapists took the situation into their own hands and build our own sandbag barricade of spa towels (Don’t worry, we sent them for professional cleaning every night). Slowly but surely, we saw our neighbours went down one after another under the rain of bullets. Our sandbags can hold no longer, Ms. Spa Manager wisely call for a retreat. Hell broke loose. Computers, flower pots, painting, customer *pun* all have to move to higher ground.
In midst of the chaos, we did not forget to uphold our service excellence. Ms. Receptionist made her routine reminder call to Mrs. Tan.
Ms. Receptionist: Hello Mrs. Tan, we are calling from Ikeda Spa. Please be reminded that your appointment starts at 3pm.
Mrs. Tan: I know… but I’m stuck at Coronation Plaza… I cannot find my Merz.
Ms. Receptionist: Mrs Tan, did you forget where you park?
Mrs. Tan: No. I remembered clearly I have parked in Basement 1… just that I have forgotten to bring along my diving goggles.
Ms. Receptionist: Don’t worry, Mrs Tan. We can wait. By the way, your Shiatsu appointment has been changed to Watsu therapy. Hope you find your car soon. Thank you.
Business resume as usual tomorrow 20th Nov. We hope In case you wonder, there is no reported casualty, all our team survived the storm. Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
