Okaimono Panda is a panda character serving as the official mascot of Rakuten Market, Japan's largest EC site operated by Rakuten Group, Inc.
It first appeared in May 2013 as a character in Rakuten Market's original LINE stickers. Since then, it has appeared in various commercials, advertisements, and videos as a promotional character.
The larger panda is named 'Okaimono Panda,' and the smaller one is 'Ko Panda,' and they are actually classmates.
As advertising characters, they are quite popular, with official merchandise being sold.
These two are classmates!?
I didn't know that...... So, this panda's true identity is the official character of Rakuten Market, Japan's mega EC site. They have quite a collection of cute merchandise too!
The R mark on its belly is cute. I was surprised to see various kinds of merchandise released when I checked the page.
Yes, exactly! I'm sure more and more will be released in the future! Everyone, when you see Okaimono Panda around town, be sure to look for the merchandise!
