A short stop-motion anime celebrating the San-X character's 15th anniversary.

He has a zipper on his back, but the contents remain unknown. He likes food like pancakes, omelette rice, pudding, and dango. He lives together with the little white cub Korilakkuma and Kaoru's pet Kiiroitori ("yellow bird"). (Source: Anime News Network)
