Our Mascots

Takumi-kun and Chie-chan, our technical experts

TEMS' mascots are two wise owls. Like our human employees, they are electrical experts who know all about how electricity is used in a railway and what our customers are looking for. They can see very well at night, so they see everything that happens on the railways we serve, and no fault escapes their notice! They keep an eye on our customers' railways day and night to ensure safety that passengers can trust.
