TOKYO —

A grinning bird mascot has been enlisted to teach Japanese children in Fukushima how to stay safe from the radiation that escaped from the region’s crippled nuclear power plant.

Kibitan—a plump, yellow cartoon character with stubby wings and boots—is warning youngsters to stay away from puddles and ditches, where radioactive particles accumulate.

In a leaflet issued by Fukushima’s disaster taskforce, the character, inspired by the region’s narcissus flycatcher bird, asks children to promise they will wash their hands and gargle with water when they get home.
