Kanemochi

In The Great Panda City, they have a saying: the most polished bamboo often has the most grubs. This might explain Kanemochi. By day, they are a picture of noble grace, sipping strawberry milk from a jade cup. But a mystery trails them like a shadow. Why does their sibling, Chikato, always look so exhausted? And what are those strange, savory crumbs that sometimes appear on their royal cloak? The truth is, Kanemochi is a clandestine street food fanatic. They use their disarmingly innocent face to escape the palace and hunt for the spiciest pork buns by the river. Chikato is their frantic accomplice, constantly inventing excuses for their sudden disappearances. No one suspects. They just see a sweet noble, completely unaware of the noodle-fueled chaos bubbling just beneath.
