The 1995 Summer Universiade, also known as the XVIII Summer Universiade, took place in Fukuoka, Japan.[1]
Emblem
[edit]The symbol mark is a motif of "U", expressing passion and energy in the flickering flames of a burning torch. In the flames one sees both the profile of a youth and an "F", the first letter of Fukuoka.
Mascot
[edit]The mascot character for the Fukuoka Games, "Kapapoo", is a motif of a unicorn, a mythical European creature.
