Appearance Wears a brown romper and has a fluffy tanuki tail. Keeps a favorite leaf on top of its head. Characteristics Ever since getting a bite from Guest, cup soba has become its favorite food. After the hot water is poured, it waits excitedly for the three minutes to pass. It eats using a fork and drinks every last drop of the broth. When the house runs out of cup soba stock, it comes to tell Guest with puffed-out cheeks. It gets starry-eyed with joy when taken to a soba restaurant.

If it opens the lid after three minutes and finds udon or ramen, it gets dejected, but still eats it. Prefers soba over udon. Gets full after one cup of soba.
