These properties are love of peace, trust, honesty, justice, love for our fellow man, health, responsibility, and integrity. The symbol has been changed four times since the school's founding.[7] While Toyama Shogyo has no official school mascot, it does have a mascot for the school's biggest event of the year, Tomishop. During Tomishop, the students are given practical experience in stocking, sales, customer support, and advertising by converting the school into a marketplace for one weekend. A round-faced cat named “Tominyan” is the mascot of Tomishop, and is often featured prominently on advertisements, flyers, and posters around the school both during Tomishop and in the weeks preceding it. Tominyan has a female counterpart, which is a character nearly identical in appearance to Tominyan himself, except for a bow she wears near her ear and the absence of Tominyan's three black stripes on top of his head.[7] UniformThe boys’ uniform consists of a blue blazer with the school emblem on the left breast, sweater-vest, also with the school emblem, a white dress-shirt, gray slacks, and a blue necktie, also carrying the school emblem. The uniform is worn slightly differently according to the season. During the summer and warmer months, the blazer and sweater-vest are not worn, while during the fall the sweater-vest is worn without the jacket. In addition to the uniform, students have certain other regulations regarding their appearances. Male students wear sneakers or loafers, with black, white, or gray socks. They must wear a black or brown belt, which must be worn at the waist, not sagging or pulled down onto the hips. They must also wear a crew cut or buzz cut. The upper part of the girls’ uniform is very similar to the boys’ uniform. Girls also wear a blue blazer and/or sweater with the school emblem, a white dress-shirt, and a blue necktie with the school emblem. However, the girls who attend Toyama Shogyo are recognizable by their almost floor-length gray skirts, which are required to extend at least 5 cm below the knee. Female students are instructed to wear simple gloves and scarves on their way to school during the cold months. They must wear athletic shoes or loafers with white socks. During the winter, they may wear black stockings instead of white socks if they so desire. Their hair must either be cut short, or tied back so that it does not fall over the eyes. Both male and female students at Toyama Shogyo use school bags of approximately the same navy blue color as their blazers bearing the school emblem, as well as the word “Tomisho,” written in English.[7] SportsToyama Shogyo High School's sports teams are regular contenders at regional and national events. The clubs include swimming, sumo, cheerleading, Japanese archery, soccer, volleyball, soft tennis, softball, basketball, gymnastics, judo, badminton, baseball, rubber baseball, track and field, tennis, and table tennis. Toyama Shogyo boasts several athletic championships throughout its history, including a victory at Koushien, Japan's national high school baseball tournament, and participation in the 2005 Japanese national sumo convention. The school's individual athletes have also won numerous awards.
