is a series of seal characters created by the Japanese company San-X. The prefix ''mame'', meaning ''bean'' in Japanese, is used to refer to miniature versions of things; the suffix ''goma'' is an abbreviation of ''gomafuazarashi'', or ''sesame seed-mottled seal'', which is the Japanese name for the spotted seal. Mamegoma are available in a variety of different colors including, white, blue, pink, yellow, and black. The seals are often depicted as being small enough (12 cm, weighing around 200 g) to live in a common goldfish bowl, usually with a few ice cubes to keep the water nice and cool. They are also shown in advertisements and merchandise in bath tubs and relaxing on a wheel in a hamster cage among other activities. The mamegoma characters are available as plush toys from UFO catcher machines. There are also many different products with the Mamegoma seals as a decoration, like stationery, calendars etc. ==Media== The 2009 anime is based on Mamegoma, revolving around 'Mameta' the Shiro-goma and some other seals going by Soda-kun, Cherry-chan, Candy-chan, Samantha-chan, Daigorou-kun, and Lemon-chan. Four Nintendo DS games have been released in Japan featuring Mamegoma: ''Mamegoma: Honobono Nikki'' (:ja:まめゴマほのぼの日記), ''Mamegoma 2: Uchi no Ko ga Ichiban!'', ''Qupu!! Mamegoma!'', and ''Mamegoma 3: Kawaii ga Ippai!''. Two 3DS games featuring Mamegoma have been added: "Mamegoma: Yoiko Maruko Genkinako!" and "Mamegoma: Happy Sweets Farm". 〔(Qupu!!
