A faint rights notice reading \"(C)Expo 2025\" appears in the lower right of the image. Social media users are guessing the figure could be Myaku-Myaku, the Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai mascot. The announcement is scheduled for September 30.","whyItMatters":"The rights notice tucked into the image corner points to Expo 2025's mascot as the likely partner, so the park's tease reads less like a riddle and more like a quiet confirmation ahead of the September 30 reveal.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe image was shot in the evening and shows the official hotel The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan along with the Universal Globe.

If it is Myaku-Myaku, USJ's next reveal is a mascot tie-in dressed as a mystery drop.","twitterPost":"The (C)Expo 2025 notice in the corner settles it: this reveal is Expo IP, so the silhouette is likely Myaku-Myaku, not a new USJ original.","threadsPost":"The rights notice tucked into the corner matters more than the silhouette itself. Universal Studios Japan's teaser carries a (C)Expo 2025 credit, which points to Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai IP rather than a USJ original creation.
