Kouhin

Kouhin is a male giant panda born on 2005-08-23 at Adventure World. Adventure World is a zoological park located in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, that has hosted multiple giant panda breeding programs since the 1990s. He is the offspring of Yongming and Meimei. Both Yongming and Meimei are giant pandas originally sent from China to Japan to support international collaborative breeding initiatives for the species. Currently living at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong, Sichuan, he participates in the center’s captive management and conservation breeding programs for the species. The center is the world’s largest dedicated giant panda conservation facility. As an adult male giant panda born through international breeding collaboration, Kouhin contributes to the genetic diversity of the global captive giant panda population. His transfer back to China supports ongoing research into giant panda genetics and habitat reintroduction preparation. He is a representative example of successful international cooperation toward giant panda conservation.
