Debut

Episode 08

Shoebill (ハシビロコウ Hashibiro-kou?) is a news editor that visits Polar Bear Cafe in episode 8.

Appearance[]

Shoebill matches his species natural look as he is a large grey bird with a classic shoe-shaped beak. He is slightly stork-like in height, with long thin legs and a long neck.

Personality[]

Similar to actual shoebills in real life, his mood is often difficult to determine as he always has a scowl on his face. Shoebill tends to stand and stare at whatever has peaked his interest, not making any movement unless necessary. This makes him somewhat intimidating to others. Despite this, he is able to express emotion to those close to him, such as flapping his wings or nodding when hearing Polar Bear's story about his childhood. Shoebill is also extremely observant, noticing the fine details in Polar Bear's Cafe. All of these traits assist him with his job as the editor-in-chief of a magazine.

It seems like Shoebill's actual personality may shine through in his magazine section, where there's a little cartoon version of him with hearts. He is also labeled as "charismatic" in the title of his reviews. The magazine photos also try to show him as a lively character, such as when he is eating Polar Bear Cafe's lunch pasta or when he is enjoying coffee.

Trivia[]

  • He is seen in Episode 01 on the television.
