POKORI Friends Makes Its Grand Debut in Japan: LINDA Inc. Takes Charge

POKORI Friends Set to Conquer Japan

POKORI Friends, the charming character series originating from Korea, has officially arrived in Japan. The excitement around this launch is palpable, as LINDA Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has secured an agent contract with HNF, the global rights holder of POKORI Friends. This collaboration positions LINDA Inc. as the frontrunner in operating business and expanding licensing opportunities in the Japanese market.

A Journey of Success

POKORI Friends began its journey in Korea through the release of fun stickers on KakaoTalk and an online promotion via 10×10. The characters gained further recognition through pop-up stores at The Hyundai Seoul and OBJECT, enhancing their popularity among fans. Collaboration with esteemed companies like KB Kookmin Bank and SAMSUNG Wellstory has allowed POKORI Friends to thrive in various business avenues.

The World of POKORI Friends

Created by the talented Yislow, POKORI Friends captures a whimsical and vibrant universe enriched with joy and positivity. Central to the narrative is POKORI, a fluffy-tailed squirrel who embodies 'courage energy.' Accompanied by a cast of lovable friends, they embark on adventures, solidifying their bond while helping each other. United under the banner of POKORI Friends, they conquer challenges and strive to inspire courage in everyone they encounter.

Meet the Characters

1. POKORI: The main character, a large and fluffy-tailed squirrel, is a reliable trouble-shooter and leader of POKORI Friends. Although he dreams of becoming a K-POP star to spread courage and positivity, he struggles with a significant weakness—his lack of talent in music.
2. DAMSOOK: A mellow mixed-breed dog who loves nature and offers a listening ear to his friends seeking solace. Recognizing his musical talents, POKORI enlists him as his vocal coach.
3. BUDDY: A delightful rabbit who believes in love above all. While sweet and affectionate, he is also sensitive and often found waiting for his fated partner, contributing his dance skills to help POKORI.
4. LUNZY: A trend-savvy city dweller who thrives on social interaction, LUNZY keeps POKORI's marketing and styling in check, albeit with a tendency for clumsiness.
5. DUMBOOL: A character whose unwavering loyalty brings peace to those around him, DUMBOOL silently supports POKORI throughout their adventures.

I hope everyone is excited about what lies ahead for POKORI Friends and myself!"
