Pompoko - Shokichi plush

In Pompoko, the Studio Ghibli film directed by Isao Takahata, raccoon dogs (tanuki) fight to protect their forest home from relentless urban development. Gifted with shapeshifting abilities and a strong communal spirit, these mischievous creatures deliver a poetic yet biting critique of Japan’s rapid modernization.

This plush features Shokichi, one of the young tanuki most committed to the cause. Curious, loyal, and brave, he matures through the story—growing from an innocent youth into a level-headed figure who remains deeply attached to his friends.

The chibi-style plush emphasizes cuteness and softness: a smiling face, embroidered eyes, and dual-tone brown and beige fur. His snout, little ears, and open arms capture the warmth and charm of his animated counterpart, making him a perfect display or cuddle companion.

Made entirely from polyester and standing approximately 12 cm tall, this plush is both huggable and collectible—a great keepsake for Ghibli fans and lovers of the forest warriors of Pompoko.
