クマ

"Kuma" refers to the bear, which is a mammal that lives in various parts of the world, including Japan. Currently, bears are appearing one after another, mainly in the Tohoku region, due to earlier emergence from hibernation and increased sightings during Golden Week. In particular, in April, the number of deaths caused by Asiatic black bears was the first in approximately 20 years, making the seriousness of the damage a social issue. In response to this, vigilance and countermeasures have been strengthened in various regions, including related ministries and agencies holding information sharing meetings.
