Kuma (Birthname: Klaus Henrik Poncetta Von Vogel Strobel Cash De La Manecca the Third) is a mascot character in PriPara. He manages Mirei's, Sophie's and Laala's PriPara team - SoLaMi♡SMILE. He has a "friendly" rival relationship with Usagi, due to their similar ambition of becoming top manager. 
Kuma seems to be somewhat lazy, but he is determined to make Laala, Sophie, and Mirei into top idols. He is also very competitive and ambitious. He loves green juice. Unlike Usagi, who was overly controlling and arrogant, he really cares for his unit team and tries to help them any way he can. He also tends to add "-kuma", and sometimes "-kumamimumemo", to the end of his sentences.

PriPara Movie: Minna Atsumare! Prism☆Tours is the film based on and starring the characters from PriPara. The film first began showing in theaters across Japan from March 7th, 2015. The plot focuses on Laala Manaka finding out about Saints' top idol journey, and aside from the PriPara performances, the movie also features the journey of characters across all the Pretty Rhythm series.

At some point in the movie, the characters are given a choice of four doors to go through. At this point, the movie diverges into one of 4 routes depending on what the audience chooses. Each route recaps different aspects of the previous Pretty Rhythm series, mainly reintroducing the different characters and their performances. However, Laala and friends only get a chance to enter one door at a time, meaning the film must be watched four times to view each door choice.
