Rilakkuma - Introduction
  • Rilakkuma (?????, Rirakkuma) is a fictional
    character produced by the Japanese company San-X
    and created by Aki Kondo.
  • After the character's launch in 2003, Rilakkuma
    has been featured on stationery and merchandise
    created by San-X, as well as several
    collaboration cafes.
  • Along with picture books and comics, a
    stop-motion animation series titled Rilakkuma and
    Kaoru was broadcast in 2019

Rilakkuma - Creation of the Character
  • San-X employee Aki Kondo had previously created
    characters such as Amagurichan and Mikanbouya. At
    the time, San-X ordered staff members to create
    one character per month.
  • After watching a TV show about dogs at the height
    of the pet boom in Japan, Kondo not only wanted a
    pet dog, but also envied its life, as she was
    busy with work and hoped to relax more.
  • This inspired her to create Rilakkuma, with its
    name a portmanteau of the words "relax" (?????,
    rirakkusu) and "bear" (?, kuma)

Rilakkuma - Creation of the Character
  • Rilakkuma was designed with a slightly sloppy
    posture because Kondo found it amusing, believing
    that it should look "cute", yet "out of place.
  • Kondo had also designed Rilakkuma with a zipper
    on its back, which became one of its quirks.
  • San-X initially found Rilakkuma too gangly and
    had preferred characters with small hands.

Rilakkuma - The Character
  • Rilakkuma was launched in 2003 and first seen in
    San-X's four-panel comic series titled Rilakkuma
    Seikatsu.
  • In Rilakkuma Seikatsu, which describes its origin
    story, it appears one day in the apartment of a
    female office worker named Kaoru, who only
    appears as a silhouette.
  • Rilakkuma spends every day relaxing. The zipper
    on its back reveals that his appearance is a
    costume, and its true form is unknown.
  • It is accompanied by other creatures in the
    series, who also have their own character lines
