Recently, I’ve seen a lot of gift shops selling Domo-kun plushies and merchandises. Ah, it must be the Domo-kun hype now. (’ w ‘) You even get to see a lot of images online with Domo-kun in it, especially made famous by the one with the kitten running in front of 2 Domo-kun(s). (^_^)”’ Haa~
Domo-kun’s story
Domo-kun, the main character, is a strange brown creature that hatched from an egg. He has a large, saw-toothed mouth that is always open, always looks like he is roaring or something like that. ;) Although he doesn’t really roar, he usually speaks with a low deep voice and only two syllabus “doomoo”. He likes to watch TV, eat Japanese-style meat and potato stew but has a strong dislike for apples.
Domo-kun lives with Mr. Usajii (a grandfatherly rabbit) in an underground cave, along with two bat neighbours, Shinobu and Morio. There’s also Domo-kun’s friends who lives around his neighbourhood:
Ta-chan - a girl weasel who likes fashion and technology,
Kogumagoro also known as Kuma no ko - a timid bear cub,
Hanaichi and Hanaji - 2 flowers,
Anikichi, Esuko and Konjiro - 3 fox brothers,
Harapekoguma - a big bear who is always hungry,
Hyutarou - a ghost.

My Revoltech Gloomy Bear is here, and with that here’s a tribute wallpaper for Gloomy Bear lovers everywhere.
I love cute and adorable things, but somehow Gloomy Bear managed to attract my “cute-radar”. I can’t say why, but there is something cute and lovable about this naughty and bloody grizzly bear. Maybe because Gloomy is pink? Or I’ve just discovered that I have a fetish for violent things? Sounds scary doesn’t it?
What is a Gloomy Bear?
Gloomy Bear is a 2m tall, violent, yet cute-looking pink bear that loves to eats and beats up humans. He is often shown with blood stains on his claws and mouth. Gloomy Bear also comes in many different colored versions too - like black, purple, white, etc.
Gloomy Bear is the genius creation of Japanese graphic designer Mori Chack. I really like his art works, especially his Podolly, a sheep in a wolf skin. Check out more of his works here and be in awe of his art works. :)
The story of Gloomy Bear
As a little bear Gloomy was abandoned, until he was rescued by Pitty (the little boy). When Gloomy was younger, he was cute and all cuddly. But as he grew older, he becomes more wild and violent, even towards his owner. Thus he is always seen biting and attacking Pitty, with blood splattering all over the place and on Gloomy himself.
Gloomy Bear - killing in action

This was what happened when I left my 2 mini Gloomy Bear-s in my office overnight. I had to re-attached Black’s arm. (-_-)”’
