This is Kumano Gollo.

From the deepest part of the mountains came a bear. Moving to the city to master the way of Kumano Judo, he made himself a home in a quiet neighborhood playground. He lives there and trains every day using the colorful children's playground equipment he found there.
Somehow it is only natural that this bear has a human girlfriend. Her name is Linda.
He lives his life at his own pace and he is obnoxiously quiet. Linda often loses it and yells at him out of frustration.
During the day, he trains his judo students and throws them without mercy. At night, Linda swings him around relentlessly. These things are typical of their daily lives.
He loves nature. He loves it so much that when he looks at a beautiful flower he can't stop from eating it.
Does he have longhair or is it just a windy day? Or is it just that he has a bad case of bed head? His hair is truly a mystery.
He dresses for every occasion in his judo gear and his distinctive body odor proves that he is the man.
