Atsubetsu-ku (厚別区) is one of the ten wards in Sapporo city, Japan. The ward was split from Shiroishi-ku on November 6, 1989.
Atsubetsu's mascot is Pikat-kun (ピカットくん, Pikatto-kun) who is a scarecrow. It resides in Nopporo Forest Park since its discovery on February 4, 2005. It loves to play children in any occasions like festivals and eat festival food. Its favourite colours are yellow, green and blue because they relate to the bright city and its rich nature and clear skies. Its gender and age is still unknown. It is designed by Kumiko Isobata and Nakade Wakana.[4]
