Here we have a super cute little hippo! He seems to like fried eggs.

Japanese Culture

Japanese people love all that is cute and small, possibly as a result of the small amount of space available for each person in the small apartments.

Translation Notes

  1. "Chiisana" is small in Japanese and "kaba" is hippopotamus, so the name Chiikaba is a combination of those two words.
