He is usually in freshly brewed tea. Inside kimchi…look! At the time when the temperature surpasses 30 degrees, the strange fairy appears. One day, he perspired the amount of 10 bucketfuls. Regarding humans, there is no harm and in particular, there is also no gain. It is entirely restricted within the fairies. Everyday passes with fear of Samugarisan. A food Atsugarisan loves is gyouza (dumplings). (Tetsunabe gyouza² are his favorite). Unfortunately, at the present time there are almost no humans who have seen Atsugarisan. However, it is probably better that way. 熱いたべものや辛いたべものに出現するらしい。 いれたてのお茶にはたいてい、いる。 キムチの中に・・・ほら！！ 温度が３０度をこえるところに出現するへんな 妖精。 一日にバケツ１０杯分の汗をかく。人間には害はないが別に益もない。 もっぱら群れて行動する。さむがりさんにおびえる日々を過ごしている。 好物はギョーザ。(鉄鍋ギョーザがお気に入り)でも残念な事に、 実際にあつがりさんを見た って人はほとんどいないんだってさ。 まあ見なくてもいいんだけどね。 Samugarisan Mr. Always Cold Samugarisan is Atsugarisan’s weakness…!

However, while this translation may sound more catchy, it is not as literal. Tetsunabe gyouza is a specialty of Fukuoka, Kyushu. "Tetsu" means "iron" and "Nabe" means "pan." Ordinary, gyouza are served on a china dish with some dipping sauce, however, tetsunabe gyouza are served in an iron pan brought right to the table. According to RM Licensing (who have licensed San-X characters in the past), Samugarisan lives where the temperature is below zero and stays beside people who tell scary stories or boring jokes. It will get a cold if its scarf (which made of its hair) is removed and his favorite food is gelidium jelly. Osagarisan is often around older brothers and sisters in order to receive "hand-me-down" clothing. His hobby is that he likes to remake the clothing and he removed bits of fuzz, or "pills," from the old clothing. Basically, this character lives in poverty.
