• Penguin?（企鵝？） – Not quite sure if he's a penguin... he once may have had a plate on his head and loves cucumbers.
• Tonkatsu（炸豬排） – The leftover bit of a pork cutlet: 1% meat, 99% fat.
• Neko（貓） – A gentle and overly self-conscious cat who’s always a little tired from worrying too much.
• Tokage（蜥蜴） – A dinosaur pretending to be a lizard to avoid being captured.
• Zassou（雜草） – A little weed with big dreams of becoming part of a flower bouquet.
• Tapioca（粉圓） – The boba pearls left at the bottom of a drink—small but spirited!
