Kintaro, a legendary boy known for his superhuman strength, is a significant figure in Japanese Children's Day (Kodomo no Hi), celebrated on May 5th. Families with boys often display Kintaro dolls or images, symbolizing wishes for their son to grow up strong and courageous, like the legendary hero. Kintaro is also a common theme in Children's Day decorations and festivities.
