Keiichi Tamura is a salaryman at a Tokyo pickle company. He’s also a koala bear, exhibited by his large furry head and paws on an otherwise human body. He recently proposed a business partnership with a Korean kimchi manufacturer which was approved by his boss. His triumph is short-lived, however, when he finds out his girlfriend was murdered the night before. Not only that, but given that his ex-wife vanished several years earlier under similar circumstances he’s now the prime suspect.
