Once upon a time, a boy named Pity found a cute baby bear abandoned in the woods. He took the bear home with him and raised him until he was full-sized. Unfortunately, the bear (named GLOOMY) retained all his animal nature and sometimes brutally attacks Pity despite all the love and the deep bond the two now share. But don’t worry, we've been assured he will be on his best behavior at Kawaii Kon!

Created by artist Mori Chack, Gloomy Bear is a charmingly twisted character that embodies the unexpected and blurs the line between adorable and ferocious.

Gloomy Bear will be appearing in our 2025 Kawaii Kon Fashion Show so make sure to purchase your Kawaii Kon multi-day membership at kawaiikon.com if you haven’t already to see him at show!
