"I think a very worthy name has been picked not only for Tokyo, but for Japan as well as the Olympics and Paralympics," said Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike who unveiled the mascots' names together with Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee President Yoshiro Mori at the ceremony.

The two futuristic mascots with superpowers were selected by 109,041 elementary kids from across the country out of a shortlist of three competitors.

The Tokyo Olympics are scheduled for July 24 to August 9, 2020.
