Reference Information
Rilakkuma Character Introduction
★Key Visual Ⓒ2026 San-X Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Rilakkuma Upper left in key visual
A bear in costume who suddenly showed up at office worker Kaoru's home and continues to stay as a freeloader. Who's inside the costume remains a mystery. Despite being a freeloader, Rilakkuma doesn't particularly help with anything and spends every day lazily relaxing. Rilakkuma's main interests appear to be daily meals and snacks.
Korilakkuma Lower left in key visual
A little white bear who came from somewhere. Not an acquaintance of Rilakkuma, but has a red button on the chest, so not a real bear. Named by Kiiroitori. A playful and energetic child who loves mischief.
Kiiroitori Upper right in key visual
A yellow bird owned by Kaoru before Rilakkuma and friends arrived. Previously kept in a birdcage but now freely comes and goes, scolding the lazy Rilakkuma daily and dealing with pranks from mischievous Korilakkuma.
Chairoikoguma Lower right in key visual
A real bear living in the honey forest. Characteristic fluffy chest fur. Has fangs when opening mouth. Has honey stuck to bottom and body smells sweetly of honey. Dreams of growing bigger.
