What You Need to Know:
- If you've been watching Kumamiko (aka Girl Meets Bear) this season, you've likely thought about how nice it would be to have a big friendly bear like Natsu look after you.
- Well, it would seem that the concept of the anime isn't all that bizarre after all. Meet Stepan, the 23-year-old, 300lb bear who lives with a Russian family. Not only does he live with them, he also eats with them at the dinner table, watches TV with them on the sofa, and helps water the garden!
- I'm sure you can imagine the reaction over here in Japan - that's right, this is the real life Kumamiko! Except there's no miko. And it's set in Russia. But it's super adorable anyway. Check out the video and Japanese anime fan's reactions below!

IRL Kumamiko
Natsu irl!!
He looks like he knows a lot about the city
This bear doesn't talk, huh
He's cute but also crazy scary... If he play-bit too hard your head would fly off

You do realise how big bears are, right? I think you're the one who would end up being the pet!
