Synopsis
Mysterious lazy bear Rilakkuma lives with Kaoru, enjoying food and friendship with Kiiroitori and Korilakkuma.
Rilakkuma is a soft toy bear who showed up one day to live with a young woman named Kaoru. It spends its days lounging around the apartment. Although there is a zipper on its back, what is inside is a mystery. Rilakkuma loves pancakes, rice omelets, custard pudding and "dango" rice dumplings. Its friends are Kaoru's pet bird Kiiroitori and a small white bear cub named Korilakkuma who also showed up out of the blue. (Source: Netflix)
