Sumikko Gurashi Polar Bear Shirokuma
Polar Bear Shirokuma is the 4th Sumikko Gurashi to arrive the corner. Why did it travel all the way from the North to the corner? It is because it is sensitive to cold. And it heard that there is warm sea in the south so it left the polar region and ended up at the corner. It enjoys hot spring very much. His pink Furoshiki cloth with cream yellow polka dots is his beloved belongings.
