Who is Pompompurin?

His full name is “Pudding Purin,” and he lives in a basket at his owner’s house. He enjoys napping, collecting shoes, and hanging out with friends like Muffin the hamster and Bagel the squirrel. But above all, he adores—yes, you guessed it—eating pudding.

Pompompurin's Rise to Popularity

From his debut, Pompompurin has enjoyed incredible popularity. In fact, he’s been voted as the winner of the Sanrio Character Ranking multiple times, beating even longtime favourites like Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll. Fans around the world adore his wholesome, food-loving personality and irresistible design.

Over the years, Pompompurin has appeared on a huge range of products—from plushies and stationery to bags, clothing, and even themed cafes. His aesthetic appeal fits perfectly with the global rise in interest in kawaii culture, especially in countries like Australia where fans are craving unique and cute fashion and merch.
