♥ Eichiki the tanuki pattern ♥

Originally from Japan Eichiki is a tanuki. He is rather shy in nature but when you get to know him you realize he’s a joker. He loves cooking and is always ready to cook succulent meals for his friends. One day he was even in the final of a culinary competition thanks to his specialty: the gyozas. Eichiki lives in harmony with nature and will always be kind to you.
