Pokéfuta

thumb|The first Pokéfuta installed in 2018, located in Ibusuki, Kagoshima|Ibusuki and featuring [[Eevee]] or Poké Lids are manhole covers in Japan decorated with drawings of Pokémon characters. Beginning installation in 2018, over 400 covers have since been installed by The Pokémon Company in cities and towns across the country. They serve as local points of interest, attracting tourists to lesser known destinations in Japan.

==Background== In Japan, manhole covers are often decorated with artistic designs, with CBS News reporting in 2019 that over 6,000 designs were spread across the country. The practice originated in the 1980s as a public relations campaign for the revitalization of sewer systems. Many towns and cities across Japan have their own designs which represents the local identity, and the practice has garnered sufficient interest from the public for annual manhole exhibitions.
