Pompompurin is a Golden Retriever who was born on April 16, 1996, and is known for his laid-back nature, love of napping, and collecting shoes. His name comes from the Japanese word for pudding, his favorite food, and his signature brown beret is modeled after the top of a cream caramel pudding. He is a boy, and has a crush on a classmate named Macaroon.
★
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!Like Keroppi who made his debut eight years before him, initially Pompompurin was created through an in-house contest held by Sanrio in 1996 to design a new dog character. His design was the most popular and ended up winning the contest.

Pompompurin's best friends include a hamster called Muffin, a mouse named Scone, and a bird named Custard who loves to steal his hat and perch on his head. He secretly likes it when the wind blows Pompompurin's beret off, so he can retrieve it!He also appears in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, where he runs the Ice Cream Boat
