Japan-based news blog RocketNews24 has reported that an anonymous artist has created a series of anime mascots for the World Cup teams.
The mascots for all 32 participating countries are illustrated in their respective national colors and even include emblems for what each country is famous for.
For example, the mascot of Spain is decked in red and yellow, and dressed up like a bullfighter, while the Switzerland mascot is colored in red and white, carrying a Swiss army knife and a slice of cheese.
Check out some of the mascots below and view the entire collection here.
