Tarepanda is a cute panda character owned by the company San-X. The term "tare" means "lazy" or "droopy" in Japanese. Tarepanda is licensed by San-X, the company that introduced Tarepanda stickers in 1995. It was designed by Hikaru Suemasa and was inspired by the Hikaru Suemasa being tired. Tarepanda is a character that moves by rolling over, with a record speed of 2.75 m/h.Tarepanda's favorite food is mochi, especially suama. In February 1998, San-X launched Tarepanda erasers and letter pads, which proved enormous hits. San-X believed these products were successful because they were released shortly after the Asian financial crisis of autumn 1997, a time when many people in Japan were facing layoffs and, consequently, were sympathetic toward a "worn-out" panda character. By 1999, sales of Tarepanda goods had reached 30 billion yen. Character Databank, a Japanese character popularity monitoring firm, has claimed Tarepanda was a huge hit in Japan. Taregoro Tarepanda no Iru Nichijou is a simulation game released in 2000 for the Playstation 1 console by Bandai based on the Tarepanda character.
