Teddy Together (original Japanese title: Kuma-Tomo) is a Virtual Pet Video Game by Arika for the Nintendo 3DS.
The game has you receiving a brand new Teddy Bear in the mail. Upon opening the box, the bear comes to life, and displays the personality of a small child. The object of the game, from then on, is to interact with the bear: answering his questions, making food and feeding him, in general raising him. Whatever he learns he can put down in his notebook.
The game was released on June 20th, 2013. A Japan-only sequel featuring cute kittens instead of teddy bears was released later for 3DS and Nintendo Switch.
Tropes featured in Teddy Together include:
- Alliterative Title: Teddy Together.
- Company Cross References: It and its sequel have had collaborations with other Namco properties, such as The Idolmaster and Taiko no Tatsujin.

- Non-Human Non-Binary: After you select your gender, your teddy bear states that he's neither a boy nor a girl because he's a stuffed toy.
