  3. Rilakkuma - Introduction • Rilakkuma (リラックマ, Rirakkuma) is a fictional character produced by the Japanese company San-X and created by Aki Kondo. • After the character's launch in 2003, Rilakkuma has been featured on stationery and merchandise created by San-X, as well as several collaboration cafes. • Along with picture books and comics, a stop-motion animation series titled Rilakkuma and Kaoru was broadcast in 2019

  4. Rilakkuma - Creation of the Character • San-X employee Aki Kondo had previously created characters such as Amagurichan and Mikanbouya. At the time, San-X ordered staff members to create one character per month. • After watching a TV show about dogs at the height of the pet boom in Japan, Kondo not only wanted a pet dog, but also envied its life, as she was busy with work and hoped to relax more. • This inspired her to create Rilakkuma, with its name a portmanteau of the words "relax" (リラックス, rirakkusu) and "bear" (熊, kuma)

  5. Rilakkuma - Creation of the Character • Rilakkuma was designed with a slightly sloppy posture because Kondo found it amusing, believing that it should look "cute", yet "out of place.“ • Kondo had also designed Rilakkuma with a zipper on its back, which became one of its quirks. • San-X initially found Rilakkuma too gangly and had preferred characters with small hands.

  6. Rilakkuma - The Character • Rilakkuma was launched in 2003 and first seen in San-X's four-panel comic series titled RilakkumaSeikatsu. • In RilakkumaSeikatsu, which describes its origin story, it appears one day in the apartment of a female office worker named Kaoru, who only appears as a silhouette. • Rilakkuma spends every day relaxing. The zipper on its back reveals that his appearance is a costume, and its true form is unknown. • It is accompanied by other creatures in the series, who also have their own character lines
