Comment from Antlers Official Mascot "Anton"
Hey everyone, how are you? It's Anton!I'm so happy to have achieved a Guinness World Record™ all thanks to our fans and supporters!
My dad Shikao and mom Shikako were incredibly happy that I set a record with "high fives," which I always work hard at!
With this, my first mission, "Anton and supporters aim for the top!" has been perfectly achieved!
I'll keep working hard to excite Antlers and our hometown through various missions, so everyone, please pay even more attention to me!
