Description
Polar Bear operates a café frequented by human and animal patrons. His past features multiple, potentially invented origin stories. One recounts his birth as the youngest triplet near Hudson Bay, Canada; separated during a blizzard, he was rescued by a fisherman and raised by a couple running a "Seal Restaurant," where he cultivated his cooking skills. An alternate story claims prior employment at a construction company before the café. Flashbacks depict him attending school in a gakuran uniform alongside childhood friend Grizzly.
He displays a calm, relaxed demeanor with a fondness for wordplay, frequently constructing elaborate puns from conversations. This habit designates him as the "boke" in comedic routines, countered by "tsukkomi" responses from Penguin or Grizzly. He occasionally employs deadpan snark and invents stories to enliven others' experiences. Though typically stoic, he shows rare vulnerability—panicking when friends counter with puns or expressing frustration over business concerns like refill policies.
His diverse talents span gourmet cooking using organic ingredients, coffee brewing, gardening, and intricate crafts such as model ships in bottles. Detail-oriented, he creates precise miniatures during insomnia. A concealed past chapter involves a brief hip-hop career as "MC 469MA" (a goroawase pun for "Shirokuma"), where he rapped about environmental issues like global warming. This persona wore urban attire and retained fans including Wolf, Tiger, and Lion.
He sustains varied relationships:
- With Panda, he initially rejected a job application for perceived laziness but later added bamboo to the menu, forging a friendship where Panda often accompanies his outings.
- Penguin, a regular, tolerates his puns and receives romantic guidance like driving lessons and dating tips.
- Grizzly, his oldest friend, co-owns a bar and joins resource-gathering trips or nighttime excursions despite irritation at his humor.
- Sasako, a human employee, secured her position after introducing Sloth to the café grounds; he values her input on events and decorations.
For special events, he wears costumes such as flight attendant uniforms or pink dresses, sometimes to provoke Grizzly or enable pun-based scenarios. His stated ambitions include combating global warming and leveraging the café’s renown to reunite with his family, though the sincerity of these goals remains unclear.
