Rilakkuma and Kaoru Season 1

Rilakkuma and Kaoru, the first stop motion animated series of one of Japan's most beloved characters, has begun production and will premiere globally as a Netflix original series in Spring 2019. 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.
