The cute little Sumikko Gurashi characters are super shy and love to hide in the corner where they feel safe. Literally Sumikko Gurashi means 'Corner Living'. They can be seen as a reflection of Japanese society, as many Japanese people are very shy.
The Sumikkogurashi family consists of many different characters like the white bear Shirokuma, the green penguin Penguin?, the beige cat Neko, the brown pork cutlet Tonkatsu and many more.
They all have a different reason why they like to hide in corners.
