Rilakkuma リラックマ

(a combination of the Japanese pronunciation of relax and the Japanese word for bear)
is a Japanese character produced by the San-X company.

All that is known about Rilakkuma's back story is that one day he appeared in the apartment of an office worker named Kaoru.

Rilakkuma wears brown bear suits, as in the picture books Rilakkuma is frequently seen sitting around waiting for suits that look exactly like him to dry on the clothes line. True to his name, Rilakkuma greatly enjoys relaxing. He is often accompanied by Korilakkuma, who is a smaller white bear with a mischievous personality(i like! ^-^), and Kiiroitori, a yellow chick who plays a tsukkomi role. Korilakkuma frequently plays pranks on Rilakkuma whilst he is sleeping, such as drawing on him, putting headphones on him and sewing odd color patches on his bear suits. Rilakkuma's favorite foods include mochi, pancakes, dumplings, and doughnuts!
