Who is Shirokuma? Shirokuma is a shy bear who migrated south to avoid the cold. Shirokuma feels most calm while drinking hot tea in a corner. Sumikkogurashi (すみっコぐらし Sumikko Gurashi) are the characters living a quiet and solitary life in a corner. They might be able to settle down when they're corners, but they don't like being in the center of the room. Whenever taken to the center of a room, they always rush back to a corner.
