Shirokuma Cafe revolves around a Canadian polar bear who quits his boring job and starts a cafe near a zoo. He loves telling tall tales and always brags about himself. According to him, he was picked up by a human couple who owns a diner while he was drifting around on an iceberg. Though he has lost all contact with his Canadian family, he has discovered a new home in serving the diners' clientele, thanks to the kind couple. His cafe is an embodiment of his personality. The place is always packed with many regulars, both animals and humans, who are drawn by his charismatic magnetism.

Based on manga series by Aloha Higa.

Definitely a kids show, probably mid or late elementary school, with gentle humor involving the interaction between the different animal and human characters in "everyday life" (if animals talked and lived alongside humans). Nothing really laugh-out-loud funny, but occasional smiles. I've been saving episodes because the dialog is fairly good intermediate-level Japanese -- Lots of vocabulary and bad puns ("dajare") without too many colloquialisms. Weak rent rating.
