File this one under 'How did I get talked into this?' along with the myriad other things that I think my kids will like. They should get a kick out of it the next time they steal my cell phone to check if I have a girlfriend. I now have two Tare Pandas moshing(?) on my display screen. Tare Panda is Japanese for 'Lazy Panda' or 'Floppy Panda'. The same word seems translatable as anything unstereotypically Japanese in the field of work-- probably not excluding "Procrastinating Panda', '3-Day Weekend Panda', or 'Does Anything to Get Fired Panda'.
He is just one of the many fine and lucrative characters by the Japanese company San-X. This is the same company which also produces characters such as Kogepan (a kind of bread people that look more like ΆΛ), and Buru Buru Dog (a hypercephalic, shivering, poodle-esque thing-- mind you most dogs I see here in real life are violently shivering little poodle things that have been inbred to be small and cute for their entire short lives). The little brown dog, by the way, with the large, rainbow-coloured ethnic hair- is a yet-to-become-popular character named Afro Ken. Somehow I doubt this one will be imported to the West. For those looking to buy in on the commercial frenzy and join the fun, Dream Kitty's Tare Panda page is a great place to start online. Just don't be confused. Hello Kitty is made by Japan's Sanrio company (click here for their English U.S.A.affiliate).

*Note: This is supposed to be an animated graphic. If it isn't moving, that's because Tare Panda is SOOooo LAZY! ㅋㅋㅋ
