Japanese restaurants usually have this little guy standing by the door. It's kinda like a raccoon, but with bigger balls. Yes, those are his 'gnads! They are supposed to represent prosperity for the business. In one hand he's holding a bottle of alcohol ("Come on in and drink, drink! Be merry!"), in the other he's got a whip ("You better pay up or it'll be fifty lashes!").

on the other hand, maybe the whip is for those unruly drunk people, who always break things or start fights...
