"Shirotan" is a Japanese merchandise character created by Creative Yoko. Sirotan is a young harp seal, white in colour but often disguised as other cute animals and objects. He was born on August 8th, 1999, in Northern Iceland. Sirotan's favourite things to do are napping and swimming in the ocean. His favourite foods are fish, ice-cream, confectionery and milk. He loves dressing up and playing. "Shirotan" literally means, "Widdle White," the childish version of "Little White." He is also nicked name Shironai.
There are four members in his family. They are his mother, his father, his older brother and his grandmother. In additional, he has six close friends. They are Kametan - the turtle, Penta - the penguin, Usamomo - the rabbit, Irukakun - the dolphin, Mokota - the sheep and Bakketan - the toy bear which is made by Sirotan's mother.
The first theme shop that is dedicated to Shirotan is currently found at Haneda International Airport.
