You’ve probably seen this yellow duck many times in MOTOGP paddock during rainy days. Can’t remember exactly start from when, but before 2014. Actually it’s not just a normal rubber duck, it has got its own name “Ahiru”. The name is from a Japanese cartoon called “Princess Tutu”, and Ahiru Arima is the main character. Also, Ahiru directly means duck in Japanese. Don’t forget to say hi to Ahiru when you meet him in the paddock, by the way, Ahiru has his own number, too. It’s number 36, the same as Joan Mir.

MOTOGP黃色小鴨也有自己的故事。

忘記確切從什麼時候開始，不過至少是在Suzuki退出MOTOGP賽事那幾年之前就有，每次比賽遇到下雨就會看到黃色小鴨的出現。

成為Suzuki雨戰吉祥物的黃色小鴨其實也有自己的名字，Ahiru，這個名字是來自於漫畫「彩夢芭蕾」（Princess Tutu)裡主角Ahiru Arima，而且在日文裡面Ahiru(あひる)就是鴨子的意思。而且Suzuki的Ahiru還有自己的號碼，和Joan Mir一樣是36號。

日本人真的太會了啦，不過我希望Ahiru還是少出現一點。有人看過這個漫畫嗎？我完全沒印象欸。
