Someone on Ravelry had mentioned something about the little amigurumi bear being a popular Japanese character. I went to Kinokuniya yesterday, and sure enough, they had all sorts of paraphernalia featuring the book's characters, all from the company
San-X.
This guy is named
Rilakkuma, a combination of the words "relax" and "bear." According to wikipedia, he likes mochi, pancakes, and doughnuts and has a mischievous little white bear named Korilakkuma and a chick named Kiiroitori, for whom there are also patterns in my book. I can't read
this page on the San-X site, but as can you see, Rilakkuma is generally a pretty relaxed bear.
The baby seal is a
mamegoma character. The white seal seems to be named Gomao, but there are
other mamegoma characters, too.
