Lan Lan and Kang Kang caused an immediate sensation when they arrived in Japan. Subsequently, a so-called "panda boom" occurred in the country. In 1974, this pair of giant pandas attracted 7.64 million visitors.
Kang Kang and Lan Lan failed to give birth to babies. In September 1979, 10-year-old Lan Lan died of acute renal insufficiency complicated by uremia, and the fetus was found in its belly during the autopsy.
