What is a fanlisting?
A fanlisting is primarily an online site or listing devoted to a particular subject or person that is created to bring together fans of the same interest. In a way, it's a place to tell the world that you like a particular person / place / object by adding your name to its membership.
Who is Kumagorou?
Kumagorou is a "character" from the anime series Gravitation - and I say the term "character" loosely, because, well - Kumagorou is actually a pink stuffed bunny plushie. Technically, Kumagorou neither talks, nor speaks, nor moves or thinks for itself - BUT, it is an extreme "alter ego" of Ryuichi Sakuma, Nittle Grasper's singer. Ryuichi is a thirty year old with the mindset of a twelve year old, possibly younger, and is given to childish wants most of the time, only reverting to his cool adult self when he sings on stage. Unfortunately, Ryuichi can't be on stage all the time, especially when dealing with personal problems, so he handles this in the best way he knows how: he uses Kumagorou as an outlet by which he is able to express his true adult feelings to others while still maintaining his childish persona. Ryuichi can't really tell Shuichi that his latest song is bad, so he has Kumagorou scrunch up his ears in frustration upon hearing the song. Ryuichi would like to talk to Tohma about something important, but this is not in keeping with his dominant child-persona; so he playfully uses Kumagorou to attract Tohma's attention (ie, hiding behind a desk and pretending that Kumagorou is talking and moving on its own).
Kumagorou is Ryuichi's personal outlet / stress ball for a world he sometimes find hard to understand. In a way, we all have our share of Kumagorous as well; either in the form of a pink stuffed bunny (or other preferred animal) of our choice, or otherwise. :)
