Sumikko Gurashi すみっコぐらし is one of the most famous characters from San-X. The name roughly translates to “life in the corner”. The main Sumikko characters are Shirokuma, a polar bear who dislikes the cold, Penguin? who is unsure of being a penguin, Tonkatsu, a piece of leftover pork cutlet and Neko, a timid and anxious cat.
