Captain Onigiri is here to save the day, one grain of rice at a time! This adorable hero combines samurai vibes with a dash of culinary charm. Decked out in his bold rice ball armor, Captain Onigiri is ready to face any villain—especially his slithery foe, Conbura.

🌀 Fun Fact: Did you know Onigiri (Japanese rice balls) are considered portable, practical, and absolutely delicious? Captain Onigiri embodies the spirit of nourishment and perseverance—perfect for a hero.

Conbura: The Snake Villain You’ll Love to Hate

Cobura - Right

Slithering into the scene is Conbura, the snake-themed antagonist representing the 2025 Chinese zodiac. Conbura’s sharp design is sleek, intimidating, and mischievously charming. With his serpentine curves and piercing eyes, this papertoy is the perfect foil for our rice ball hero. His name alone—Conbura—sounds like trouble, doesn’t it? Conbura’s snake-like style truly brings the zodiac to life while adding a touch of villainy to your papercraft collection.
