Pompompurin (ポムポムプリン, Pomupomupurin) is a
good-natured Golden Retriever dog character introduced by the Japanese
company Sanrio in 1996. Purin was born on a sunny day on April 16th.
Pompompurin lives in his own basket in the entrance hall of his
sister-owner's house. His trademark is his brown beret that is always on
top of his head.
Pompompurin's interest is collecting shoes, which includes his
owner-father's leather shoes, one of his owner-mother's sandal, etc. He
likes to hide them. Pompompurin loves drinking milk and eating cream
caramel pudding that his mother makes. He also spends a lot of time
sleeping (one could say he has a talent for it!), doing 'purin
aerobics,' and hanging out with his best friends. He's a laidback dog
who loves soft stuff and easily makes friends. He dreams of being even
bigger. He perks up when he hears his owners say "Let's go out!" and
he'd rather not hear "Stay!"
