I am familiar with Yotsuba and Totoro, but who is the third character in this
picture (the one in pink) ? What manga/anime is she from?

It comes from some desktop background site which sadly did not give any
attributation to what is obviously fan art.

question
hare-guu
Who is the character in this picture with Yotsuba and Totoro?


She's from [Hare+Guu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Har%C3%A9%2BGuu), or "The
Jungle Was Always Sunny, Then Came Guu".

It was originally a serialized manga that was then adapted into a 26 episode
anime TV series as well as several OVAs.

She's one of the main characters and her name is
"[Guu](http://myanimelist.net/character/716/Guu)".

Here's some more information about the characters, and specifically, [about
Guu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Har%C3%A9%2BGuu_characters):

> Guu's stomach is a world filled with buildings, hundred legged cats, and a
> nice young couple of lovers that have been trapped there for ages (but
> apparently don't mind their predicament). Other than Haré, no character
> seems to be aware of Guu's strange nature (or for that matter the bizarre
> circumstances surrounding everything else in the series). The weird events
> that occur because of her are only ever acknowledged by Haré. Everyone who
> is eaten by Guu, only to be spat out later (excluding Haré) dismisses what
> happened as "sleeping" (occasionally, dreaming about Guu's Stomach world).
> Haré even dismisses his first time in Guu's Stomach but is quickly proved
> wrong. There are other strange things Guu can do, which defy the laws of
> physics, logic, and reality, such as (but not limited to) teleport, time
> travel, warp reality, superhuman strength, elongate her body parts, breathe
> underwater, cause people to switch bodies, read minds, cause disco music to
> play suddenly, switch her face (from a cute face to a completely plain
> face), transform into a giant kaiju monster version of herself, and incite
> mental breakdowns in Haré, though the latter is more of a talent than an
> actual power. She apparently has more than one stomach and cares enough
> about the people and creatures she swallows to keep dangerous things away
> from the area she keeps her 'guests'. Despite all this, Guu actually cares
> for some of Hare's personal problems, and often gives him advice with
> profound sayings- a lot of her powers are used to make Hare learn a lesson.
> At the end of the manga, Guu leads Hare to her birthplace in a dream (and
> refuses to let him go further, saying it would be an one-way trip for him),
> and it's strongly implied that Guu's birthplace is somewhere between life
> and death, and that she's some kind of physical god. Guu disappears the next
> morning, releasing the people in her stomach (who turn up in a TV shows
> about missing people suddenly reappear) and erasing everybody's memories of
> her, except Hare's. Six years later, Hare spots Guu's smirk on his newborn
> daughter's face, and realizes she might be a reincarnation of Guu.
