What is Rilakkuma?

A bear in a costume. With Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori, she continues to take care of her at the house of an office worker, Kaoru. It is unknown who is inside. Rilakkuma’s main concern is daily meals and snacks. My favorite foods are hot cakes, omelet rice, pudding, and dumplings. A cog bear is a friend who lives in the honey forest.
