The Rio 2016 Summer Olympics have come to an end, but is the begging for Tokyo's 2020 hosting duties. They started off with a bang as the showed off their promo video featuring prime minister Shinzo Abe disgusted as Nintendo's beloved mascot Super Mario. Other cameos included Doraemon, Hello Kitty and Pac-Man. The video seams to embrace their beautiful city of Tokyo, technology and their icon characters stated above. The video at the moment only seems to be available on NBC's olympic page, so check it out here:
