Who I am (MASHIMARO)

Annyeonghaseyo, Hello~~~
I'm Mashimaro, a Korean animated character who resembles a fat bunny *kutie kutie pie*. I was created by Kim Jae In and Jang Mi Yeong back in 1999. At the time, I was originally designed to be used on an educational website for children, however, as the original client rejected the design, Kim and Jang decided to use me in a flash animation, which is a form of mini cartoon.




And after that came the reign of MASHIMARO the bunny muahahahaha



In Korea, my home country, I'm also known as Yeopki Tokki (엽기토끼, which means "Bizarre rabbit" *O.o.O* ). I debuted in a series of flash animations (mostly without any dialogue, although the occasional word of Korean or English is present) on the internet. 


Some famous episodes of MASHIMARO the bunny's series:
Visit Youtube for more funny episodes.

However, my popularity is far more often seen in merchandise, such as dolls, handbooks, bags, jackets, accessories, etc.. MASHIMARO the bunny's merchandise can be found on the internet and in Korean communities around the world and has been an incredibly hot trend among kids and teenagers all over the world *yay me!!! ^.^*


Stay tune for more posts on the special merchandise of me, the FATTY CUTIE EVIL BUNNY, including where to buy exclusive dolls, shirts, jackets, mp3 players, headphones and etc...

UNTIL NEXT TIME ~~annyeong~~

Fun fact: Mashimaro's name came from the creator's niece/nephew mispronouncing the word "marshmallow" (how cute is it :333)
