Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma


The brown one is Rilakkuma, while the white one is Korilakkuma.

Rilakkuma is a character produced by San X Company. He is produced by Aki Kondo, who wished to own a pet and made him as embodiment of her wish. On May 2010, Rilakkuma ranked as the fifth most popular character in Japan in a survey of the Character Databank.


Rilakkuma is male, while Korilakkuma is female. They look like a couple, so cute and perfect for each other.


As the story goes on, Rilakkuma mysteriously appears in the female office worker Kaoru's apartment one day. He is a soft toy bear who has apparently decided to take up residence there. On his back is a zipper which when opened reveals a light blue polka dot patterned material. The contents or nature of this zipper is unknown. His favorite foods are dango, pancakes, omurice and custard pudding. True to his name, he enjoys relaxing and his favorite things include sleeping, lying around, watching television, listening to music and soaking in hot springs. He loves using Kaoru's yellow bean bag pillow. 


Rilakkuma, Kiiroitori, and Korilakkuma

Rilakkuma is often accompanied by Korilakkuma, who is a smaller child-like white bear with a mischievous personality, and Kiiroitori, a yellow chick who plays a tsukkomi role. Kiiroitori is basically the opposite of Rilakkuma because of the bird's hard-working nature and love of cleaning. Kiiroitori is Kaoru's pet chick. Kiiroitori is always telling Rilakkuma off for being so lazy. Korilakkuma frequently plays pranks on Rilakkuma while he is sleeping, such as drawing on him, putting headphones on him and sewing odd color patches on his bear suits. Most of the time, Korilakkuma doesn't say a word, but sometimes she imitates what Rilakkuma is saying.

Korilakkuma also has the appearance of a bear, but also has a red button attached to her chest, and so it seems that she is also not a real bear. However, unlike Rilakkuma, she doesn't have a zipper on her back. Her favorite foods are strawberries, apples and cherries and she loves playing with her radio controlled duck. Like Rilakkuma, she also likes listening to music, particularly at loud volume using her music player.


Here's the pics and videos about Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma I've gathered. Enjoy..!!
