The factual story for Rilakkuma's being is that he mysteriously
appears in the female office worker Kaoru's apartment one day. He is a
soft toy bear who has apparently decided to take up residence there. On
his back is a zipper which when opened reveals a light blue polka dot
patterned material. The reason for the zipper on his back is unknown.

He was first seen in a series of picture books called Rilakkuma Seikatsu
produced by San-X but since has become equally popular as a soft-toy
character. In the picture books, he is often seen dressed up in a
variety of costumes such as a kappa
costume. In addition, it is implied that even in his usual appearance,
his entire lower body is a costume, which he will often replace when it
gets old or dirty (Rilakkuma is frequently seen sitting around waiting
for suits that look exactly like him to dry on the clothes line).
However, it is not clear whether his head is also part of his costume.

His favorite foods are dango, pancakes, omurice and custard pudding.
True to his name, he enjoys relaxing and his favorite things include
sleeping, lying around, watching television, listening to music and
soaking in hot springs
.
He loves using Kaoru's yellow bean bag pillow, although there has been
some controversy whether or not the yellow bean bag pillow is in fact
Kiiroitori. Despite some confusion that often occurs relating to
Rilakkuma and his friend Korilakkuma's genders, it is stated on the
San-X site that he is in fact a male, while Korilakkuma is indeed
female.

Rilakkuma is often accompanied by Korilakkuma. Kiiroitori fictionally
named her Korilakkuma because she looks like a small Rilakkuma (Ko
means child Japanese). She also mysteriously appeared at Kaoru’s house.
Rilakkuma didn’t know her at the time. She is full of vigor and is very
mischievous. Korilakkuma frequently plays pranks on Rilakkuma while he is sleeping,
such as drawing on him, putting headphones on him and sewing odd color
patches on his bear suits. Most of the time, Korilakkuma does not speak,
but occasionally she knows what Rilakkuma is saying.

Korilakkuma also has the appearance of a bear, but also has a red
button attached to her chest, and so it seems that she is also not a
real bear. However, unlike Rilakkuma, she doesn't have a zipper on her
back. Her favorite foods are strawberries, apples and cherries
and she loves playing with her radio controlled duck. Like Rilakkuma,
she also likes listening to music, particularly at loud volume using her
music player.

Kiiroitori is a yellow chick
who lives at Kaoru’s house. Kiiroitori means “yellow bird” in Japanese.
He used to be in a birdcage but now he comes out at his own discretion
and scolds Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma because Rilakkuma is too lazy and
Korilakkuma is too mischievous. Sometimes he feels down because he
thinks he scolds them too much. He plays a tsukkomi role (considered to be the smarter, more logical one who criticizes
others for making mistakes). Kiiroitori is basically the opposite of
Rilakkuma because of the bird's hard-working nature and love of cleaning.
Kiiroitori is Kaoru's pet chick.
