History Characters / ShirokumaCafe

%%* CantHoldHisLiquor
%%* DeadpanSnarker

* [[SweetTooth Sweet Beak]]: He found the fish-shaped pastries from Toraya very tasty.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Goes from a once a week, part time car salesman job, to a CEO in episode 29, simply because he's lazy and cute.

* AttentionWhore: Panda occasionally strays into this as it seems like his ever-changing whims seems to revolve around how much attention people pay to him. Ironically, he loathes Rin-rin, who would lavish that kind of attention on him. (Justified that he sees Rin-Rin as a creepy stalker)
** Case in point: When the gang go to the beach, Panda revels in being adored by a group of old ladies. But when Shirokuma attracts a flock of younger people admiring him, Panda's expression quickly darkens, his ears take on the shape of devil horns, and he yells for Shirokuma to set up their camp already.

* CatchPhrase: A minor one, but in the "Paper doll segments" at the end of each episode, he always starts by saying "Mr. Penguin! Mr. Penguin!",and asking him a stupid/insensitive question.

%%* LazyBum: At home.
* PandaingToTheAudience: His job at the zoo.

* TagalongKid: Has so far invited himself to Grizzly and Shirokuma's fishing trip and night out. Grizzly was not pleased.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Compared to his manga counterpart, Panda is much more rude and thoughtless to his friends and peers.
** Just to give one example of many, in episode 22 Panda was generally rude to the Pygoscelis penguins, showed no interest in their cards, and called their Memory game boring, but in the manga Panda was much nicer to them and continued to play their Memory game rather than dismiss it.
* TookALevelInKindness: In episode 28, he feels genuinely bad about Shirokuma having a brush with the law because of his laziness. To the point that he sincerely works hard at the Cafe the next day, minus a few hiccups.
** He's also heartbroken at learning that [[spoiler:the zoo transferred Full-Time Panda to Singapore as they had been close, despite Panda's eccentric remarks. To the point he literally works himself to exhaustion.]]

* [[spoiler:PutOnABus: The zoo transferred him to Singapore. He had Handa and Kirino not tell Panda until after the fact and tried to spend as much time with Panda as possible until the day came. He sends Panda postcards from time to time.]]
** [[spoiler:TheBusCameBack: He returns whilst on holiday with his family in Episode 50 for one heartwarming reunion with Panda and everyone else.]]

* TheStoic: His gentle demeanor never strays, even when he's making horrible puns or saying bizarre things to mess with his friends. Dare to say its unfair for him to charge for refills, though...
