Former Morning Musume member, Mari Yaguchi designed a new Digimon called Panbachimon which will appear in 25th episode of Digimon Xros Wars on February 1! She also recorded the voice for the new character last January 19, the day before her birthday and is a big fan of the said anime and wanted to try becoming a voice actress.
The opportunity to work on Digimon began with Yaguchi's appearance on the Anime Seisaku Senyū Tour!! Digimon ga Dekiru Made program last October. Panbachimon's body has the top half of a panda and the bottom half of a bee. Its special moves include Bamboo Leaf Cutter and Poison Stinger, although Panbachimon does not use these moves in the said episode.
