Marumofubiyori (まるもふびより, Maru mo fu biyori) is a trio of Sanrio characters. The main character is Moppu (モップ,) a polar bear cub who is always draped in his favorite blanket and loves to laze around at home. He is a homebody who lives with a roommate who works at an aquarium. He is affectionately known as "Moppu", a nickname that the girl he lives with gave him, because he always drags his blanket around as if he were mopping the floor.

The girl gave Moppu two plush toys to keep him company, and they are his best friends. They are a blue fish named Gyoniku (ギョニクさん, Gyoniku-san) and a red crab named Kanikama (カニカマさん, Kanikama-san). Kanikama is a toy crab with a reliable character, and Gyoniku is a toy fish that has a mysterious antennae.

Moppu is also friends with a penguin named Mashu and a seal named Ajimaru. Moppu met Ajimaru on the street by biting him, thinking he was a Daifuku, only to find out he was a seal, and simultaneously meeting Mashu.

Ajimaru is a happy-go-lucky seal who is round and fluffy. Even though he is a seal, he can kind of walk around. He also has a flower birthmark that he is very proud of.

Mashu is a baby penguin who wants to be an emperor penguin and is friends with Moppu's plushies. Mashu's belly button is actually drawn on his belly.

Marumofubiyori also has a YouTube series that released on December 20, 2017, and it follows him and his friends in different scenarios in the form of a mini-short series.

In 2022, the designer in charge of Marumofubiyori was Morito. (森戸)
