This panda boy really likes Mochi and Dango but only eats it during a festival, this festival is centered around heritage, he celebrates his with his family that on one side Japanese and the other....?

He's half German from his mothers side who is a brown bear

The festival he also meets with his whole family on is the Flower Festival, hence the kimono, he just wears it during both because his mom thinks its cute

So you get a really wholesome bear baby who loves his family and food
