东京奥运会和残奥会吉祥物名称揭晓

东京奥组委在去年12月公布了奥运吉祥物的候选名单，请国内小学和海外日语学校的小学生为他们最喜爱的吉祥物投票。超过1.67万所学校参与了投票。

The voting process was part of the country's nationwide education program called "Yoi Don!" which means "Get Set!". The program aims to teach children the values of the Games and allow them to get involved in initiatives linked to Tokyo 2020.

这次投票也是日本全国Yoi Don!（预备开始！）教育项目的一部分。该教育项目旨在让孩子们理解奥运会的价值，并让他们参与到与2020年东京奥运会有关的活动中来。

The two futuristic, superhero creatures chosen were unveiled in February, without names.

今年二月，组委会宣布这两个未来主义的超级英雄机器人胜出，但没有公布吉祥物的名字。
