Records
At Saitama Children's Zoo, paired with Shuma, she became the mother of five, including Mitsuto. In the winter-only 'Capybara Hot Spring,' she made frequent use of the new wooden tub, so fond of it that when her offspring Hechima had gotten in first, she would push him out to get in herself. She won the summer watermelon speed-eating contest two years in a row.
From around July 22, 2025, she grew listless and lost her appetite; she was under treatment but died of ovarian cancer on August 3 at the age of 9.
