Each station on the Asa Line features a cartoon mascot character designed by Takashi Yanase, a local cartoonist from Kōchi Prefecture. The mascot for Tateda Station is a girl in a blue flight attendant's uniform named Tateda Sorakochan (たてだ そらこちゃん). A statue of this mascot is located near the steps leading to the platform. The toilet building nearby also shares the aviation theme by having decorative propellers protruding from the roof. The choice of theme is based on the fact that Tateda near to Kōchi Airport.[6]
