Rilakkuma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rilakkuma (リラックマ, literally a combination of the Japanese pronunciation of relax and the Japanese word for bear; also called Relaxuma and Rirakkuma) is a Japanese character produced by the San-X company. He is a man wearing a brown bear costume, and he lives in the house of an office lady named Kaoru. True to his name, Rilakkuma greatly enjoys relaxing. He is often accompanied by Korilakkuma, who is a smaller white bear with a mischievous personality, and Kiiroitori, a yellow chick who plays a tsukkomi role. Korilakkuma frequently plays pranks on Rilakkuma when he is sleeping.
Rilakkuma has been increasing in popularity since his debut in 2003. For his third anniversary, San-X introduced many new items depicting the character in celebration. Related items include pastry marketed under Rilakkuma Cafe brand.
