Brand New San-X Kawaii Character Hamipa Announced
San-X have announced a brand new kawaii character coming in 2019!
His name is Hamipa and he’s a panda that spends his days freely rolling around and looking like he’s wearing pants that are too big for him!
Hamipa and his pants (which aren’t actually pants) are too cute! And so is his lazy but gentle demeanor. He’s almost like a Panda version of Gudetama but more gentle! San-x are planning to release Hamipa goods in 2019 (including kawaii plushies!!!) so just a few more months before we can get our hands on his cute likeness~ But for now San-x have created Hamipa a Twitter where you can keep up to date with cute photos of him and goods information here, but beware it’s all in Japanese only!
Whilst you’re waiting on Hamipa why not check out our kawaii character ranking!
