Character

Kanahei

USAGI

Usagi the rabbit spends a lot of time with its friend, Piske the bird. Usagi has a bit of a reputation amongst rabbits as being especially mischievous. Sometimes Usagi gets angry with Piske for messing about too much. Usagi is surprisingly sensible and loves to eat.

PISKE

Piske the bird does a lot of things together with Usagi. Piske has a serious character. Basically, Piske is expressionless no matter what happens, but when Piske gets angry, he becomes scary. Maybe because Piske is too serious and occasionally does something unexpected, it surprises Usagi.
