Kawaii Characters

While bear mascots like Kumamon and Arukuma are a dime a dozen, one adorable bear has stolen our hearts: Rilakkuma!

We all know about Japan’s most legendary animation studio – Studio Ghibli through its classical works, like “Spirited Away”, “My Neighbor Totoro”, or “Princess Mononoke”. But there are still tons of hidden gems to explore!

Domo-kun is one of the most unusual yet iconic mascots out there. But where did he come from?

If you are a big fan of the Kawaii culture of Japan, you must have seen the image of a chubby cute black bear named Kumamon.

Japanese mascots are super popular around the country and are a unique part of Japanese culture. They’re called yuru-kyara (meaning loose or relaxed character) or gotochi-kyara (local government character).
