Pompompurin (ポムポムプリン, Pomupomupurin) is a good-natured Golden Retriever dog character introduced by the Japanese company Sanrio in 1996. Purin was born on a sunny day on April 16th. Pompompurin lives in his own basket in the entrance hall of his sister-owner's house. His trademark is his brown beret that is always on top of his head.
Pompompurin's interest is collecting shoes, which includes his owner-father's leather shoes, one of his owner-mother's sandal, etc. He likes to hide them. Pompompurin loves drinking milk and eating cream caramel pudding that his mother makes. He also spends a lot of time sleeping (one could say he has a talent for it!), doing 'purin aerobics,' and hanging out with his best friends. He's a laidback dog who loves soft stuff and easily makes friends. He dreams of being even bigger. He perks up when he hears his owners say "Let's go out!" and he'd rather not hear "Stay!"
Pompompurin's best friends include a hamster called Muffin, a mouse named Scone, and a bird named Custard who loves to steal Pompompurin's hat and perch on his head. He secretly likes it when the wind blows Pompompurin's beret off, so he can retrieve it!
