There was a surprise in the latest Rilakkuma theme as they have a new friend! Korilakkuma met Kogumachan the bear cub in the honey forest.

He’s also known as Chairokoguma and is brown and round and smells of honey. He also has a furry chest and bear shaped pawprints.
Here’s a super cute video introducing him.

I’m sure there will lots of kawaii products available soon, but you can already pre-order some plush including everyone dressing up as their new pal. Use our guide to The Best Kawaii Shops Worldwide to find shops that sell San-X characters near you.

What do you think of Kogumachan?
