Hyottoko is a mythical character in Japan. The name is a corruption of "hi otoko" (literally, "fire man.") This is because his job is to act as human bellows and blow on fires through a hollow bamboo to raise the temperature. For that reason, he is squinting and his lips are pursed.
Carry your own Hyottoko around on a keyring to keep the fire in your life glowing!
