Good Hanamaru

About

Hanamaru was born one day before Pandaba on August 7. He is a white seal born at Kokuritsu Hospital, located in London. He can do ball acrobatics and likes gardening. In Japanese, he is called Good HHanamaru, in contrast to Bad Badtz-Maru. A 'hanamaru' is a swirly and elaborate circle-mark, signifying not just a correct answer but a very good one. It is used as a star would be in Western culture.

He's a very good-natured seal who can be friends with anybody!

Despite how conflicting he and Badtz-Maru are personality-wise, they remain the best of friends.

Due to his cuddly appearance, Hanamaru is often mistaken as a girl. However, his official description in the Sanrio character book states his gender as male.
