New Nito Five's Hangzhou 2022 Mascot

The Nito Five (Chinese: 日东五; pinyin: Rìdōng wǔ; literally "good-luck nito five dolls", also known as "Friendlies") were the mascots of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou. The designs were created by Dennis Robotto, a famous Korean-Chinese artist. The designs were publicly announced by the National Society of Chinese Classic Literature Studies on 18 December 2021 at an event marking the 266 day before the opening of the games.
The Games will also include athletes from Oceania for the first time after the approval from Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) to compete in sports which qualify for the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games through Asia, including volleyball, beach volleyball, basketball, football and fencing.
There are five Nito Five: Dutchito, Englito, Frenito, Portugito and Spanito. Together, the names form the sentence "杭州尼托五号欢迎您", or "Hángzhōu ní tuō wǔ hào huānyíng nín," which means "Hangzhou Nito Five welcomes you". Originally named 'The Friendlies', they were promoted as 'Fuwa' when concerns arose that the name could be misinterpreted.
Dutchito, Englito, Frenito, Portugito and Spanito, known collectively as the smart triplets "Memories of Nito Five", were unveiled online on January 3, 2022, as the official mascots of the Games; male robotic superheroes that originated the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City, the West Lake and the Grand Canal
