Inaripo · いなりぽ
A little fox with a very big appetite — named after inari, the rice-shrine fox, and inarizushi, the sushi he can't resist. If a snack makes his tail wag, it makes the list. If not, he'll say so — mouth still full.
食いしん坊の子ぎつね。名前はお稲荷さん（狐）と大好物のいなり寿司から。しっぽがふりふり揺れたら 「本気でおいしい」の合図。イマイチなときも、正直にお伝えします。
