Ma hope o ka lilo ʻana o ka bea Kumamon nani i makika kaulana loa ʻo Iapana, i kēia manawa aia kahi bea mascot hou e lilo i punahele hou ma ʻAsia. No Taiwan kēia makika ʻeleʻele a ʻo ia ka ʻelele no Universiade 2017, ʻo Bravo kona inoa.
ʻO Bravo lāua ʻo Kumamon he bear ʻeleʻele ʻelua, ʻo ka ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o lāua ka māka nui "V" keʻokeʻo ma ka umauma o Bravo, i ʻike wale ʻia ma ka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele ʻōiwi ma Taiwan.
ʻAʻole paha ʻike ka poʻe he nui, i ka wā i kū mua ai ʻo Bravo i mau makahiki i hala aku nei ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoihoi nui i ka nānā a kokoke i kahi kaulana ʻole. Ua mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Bravo a puni nā kula ma Taiwan e mahiʻai i nā mea pā, a mālama ʻia i nā hālāwai fan i kēlā me kēia pule. I loko o kēia manawa, ua lawe ʻo Bravo i nā papa hana, e aʻo ana e launa pū me nā poʻe a e ʻike ka poʻe hou aku iā ia. No ka ʻumeʻume o ka pāpāho, piʻi ʻo Bravo i luna o ka piko e hoʻokipa ai i ka puka ʻana o ka lā i ka hau. Ua ʻeha ʻo Bravo i ka hahau wela a hāʻule pinepine i nā manawa ke holo nei i nā manawa like ʻole. Ua lawelawe ʻo ia i ka kofe ma lalo o ka lā loko ʻino ma waho o Taipei Metro Station. I ka mahina i hala iho nei, hāʻule ʻole ʻo Bravo mai ke kahua i ka wā o kahi hana, ua hopu ʻia kēia hanana a hōʻike nui ʻia ma nā kahawai nūhou a puni ʻo Taiwan. Ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe e nānā a hoʻouna i kā lākou mālama iā Bravo, laki ʻo Bravo (a ʻo ka puppeteer) ua makaʻu iki a ʻaʻole ʻeha.
ʻO ko Bravo ʻano uʻi maikaʻi a me kāna hana hana ikaika i hoʻonui ʻia kona kaulana i Taiwan, a ua kūʻai lilo ʻia aku kāna mau mea pāʻani me ke koi nui. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ʻo Bravo ma hope o Universiade 2017, akā ua "hoʻolimalima ʻia" ma ke ʻano he lunamakaʻāinana no ke kulanakauhale ʻo Taipei ma muli o kona kaulana. E ʻaʻahu ana ʻo Bravo i ka mekala gula a Universiade ma kona umauma, akā ke kau nei ʻo ia i ka mekala gula ma ke ʻano o ke kulanakauhale ʻo Taipei. I ka manaʻo o nā kamaʻāina he nui, no nā keiki a me nā ʻōpio, lilo ʻo Bravo i ikona hou o Taiwan.
Ua holo wikiwiki aku he mau kaukani o ka pā i loko o ka hui pā aloha a Bravo ma Taipei City Council, kakali ka poʻe i mau hola e kiʻi wale me ia. He mau haneli tausani ka nui o kāna poʻe peʻa i kēia manawa, pīhoihoi nā poʻe āpau ke kū ʻo Bravo i nā hana a puni ʻo Taiwan.
Ke pā mai nei kēia puahiohio mai Taiwan a i ʻAsia a mākaukau ʻo ia e lawe i ka honua. Ua lohe wale paha ʻoe no Kumamon ma mua, akā ʻānō e mākaukau e hālāwai me ke kiʻi hou o Taiwan, ka mea i kū i ke kūlana superstar - Bravo !!
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Bravo and Kumamon are both black bear, the biggest difference between them is the big white “V” mark on Bravo's chest, which can only be seen on the native black bear in Taiwan.
- Last month, Bravo accidentally fell from the stage during a performance, the incident was captured and reported widely on news channels around Taiwan.
- This black bear mascot came from Taiwan and he was the ambassador for Universiade 2017, his name is Bravo.
