Marino-kun and Marinosuke

To symbolize Yokohama's maritime history and status as a major port city, what better animal to choose as a mascot than a seagull decked out in a sailor's outfit? Like most sailors, it would seem that Marino-kun is not very big on "family values". Unlike other clubs, the Marinos never saw fit to give him a wife or a girlfriend . . .

. . . and yet he still managed to spawn a seaglet named "Marinosuke". While this may make a certain amount of logical sense to adults, it may be awkward trying to explain this to the kids when they get old enough to ask where little mascots come from!
