Adorable circus bear Hamikuma hides supernatural secrets that blur life and death, unsettling performers and audiences alike.
The mysterious tale of Hamikuma begins in a traveling circus, where this peculiar bear-like performer captivates audiences with his endearing appearance and unique movements. Behind the bright lights and cheering crowds, however, lies a darker story waiting to unfold. As Hamikuma's star begins to rise, tensions simmer beneath the surface of the circus community. What starts as a simple performance act gradually transforms into something far more extraordinary and unsettling. The adorable bear harbors secrets within him that blur the line between life and death, between the natural and the supernatural. Now, as Hamikuma takes center stage once again, strange occurrences follow in his wake. His very existence challenges the boundaries of what should be possible, leaving both his fellow performers and his audience to wonder: what exactly is Hamikuma, and what forces might be stirring within him?
The secret behind Hamikuma's birth has finally been animated! Hamikuma once performed as a sideshow in a traveling circus. His adorable appearance and quirky movements drew large crowds, but the other circus members were jealous of his popularity and feared he would become a star. Faithful to the rumor that he wasn't a real bear, the circus members lured him into a big tent one night and cut open his stomach to find out who was inside...but there was no one inside. To destroy the evidence, the circus members set fire to the tent and buried Hamikuma and himself in the underworld. Hamikuma fell into the underworld, but his ripped open stomach was possessed by the "Death Bringer," which was trying to return to the surface. Hamikuma gained immortality and returned to the surface, but his soul was left behind in the underworld. Hamikuma has returned to the world and is now the star of the show, but there are still various mysterious objects squirming inside his open belly, waiting for an opportunity to come out onto the surface...
