π± Who is Hachiware?
Hachiware (γγγ―γ¬) is one of the main characters from Chiikawa — the viral Japanese webcomic and anime series created by Nagano. With a sweet, cheerful personality and a love for helping others, Hachiware is best known for his iconic two-tone fur pattern (blue and white) and constant optimism, even when things get tough.
Hachiware is often seen hanging out with Chiikawa and Usagi, getting into harmless mischief, or working hard for food rewards — like curry or… yep, sushi!

π€― Fun Fact About Hachiware
Did you know? Hachiware’s name (γγγ―γ¬) comes from a Japanese word describing a cat with a split pattern on its head — literally “hachi” (eight) and “ware” (split)! This refers to the shape of the fur on his face that resembles the kanji for 8 (ε «). It’s a nod to his unique look — and it’s why fans can instantly spot him!
