The Glico Man sign in Dotonbori is a massive neon sign that depicts a man running on a blue race track. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in Osaka and is known as a symbol of the city's vitality and energy. The sign is 20 meters tall and 10.4 meters wide, and it has been lighting up the Dotonbori skyline since 1935.

The Glico Man is a mascot for the Glico company, which is a Japanese confectionery company. The sign is meant to represent the company's commitment to quality and innovation. It also symbolizes the company's belief that everyone has the potential to achieve their goals.
