Sumikko Gurashi
Sumikko Gurashi made their debut in 2012 as slightly pessimistic figures who prefer to hide in the corner of a room. The characters include "Shirokuma," a sensitive polar bear; "Penguin?" (with a question mark in its name), a penguin who is confused if it is indeed a penguin; "Tonkatsu," an uneaten pork cutlet; "Neko," a shy cat; and "Tokage," a dinosaur who conceals his true identity as one of the last dinosaurs. The franchise has spawned toys, novels, stationery, computer games, and, most recently, a feature film.
