A red haired baby unicorn character created for Sanrio by Osamu Tezuka. He has the power to grant wishes and happiness to anyone who finds him.
According to Wikipedia: Unico’s way of bringing joy to others gets him into trouble with the gods, who believe that happiness should be obtained by years of sacrifice and hard work, not by meeting a unicorn. By way of punishment, they banish him to the Hill of Oblivion, but the West Wind takes pity on Unico; whenever the gods discover Unico’s whereabouts, the West Wind appears to spirit him away once again, often without Unico getting to say goodbye to any of the friends he has made… his memory wiped clean each time.
That’s pretty heavy for a baby unicorn who belongs to the same pantheon of critters as Hello Kitty and that penguin who looks pissed off all the time. But who am I to argue with old-fashioned anime weirdness?

Unico is so cute and EPIC all at once.
