Mashimaro (마시마로) is a Korean fictional character who resembles a fat rabbit, created by Kim Jae In (김재인). He is also known as Yeopki Tokki (엽기토끼, "Bizarre rabbit" in Korean). He debuted in a series of Flash animations (mostly without any dialogue, although the occasional word of Korean or English is present) on the internet. Mashimaro is far more often seen in merchandise, similar to Hello Kitty. (Mashimaro would in fact be best described as Korea's answer to Sanrio.) Mashimaro merchandise can be found on the internet and in Korean communities around the world.
| This rabbit's name is derived from the word marshmellow, because it resembles a partially bitten one. Mashimaro feels neglected because it is different from all other rabbits. Due to this, Mashimaro has become a bit twisted from the rest of society and chooses to act in very strange ways. This is a way for him to discover and find his own identity, since he is not yet comfortable in his own skin. |
LOVELY ONE
