Very interesting, is this species found in more zoos in Asia?
I have no access to databases and archives besides those of Japan. If anyone here knows of any, particularly that of China (they don't use ZIMS there), please let me know.
If there are any, chances are they are in the pet trade. They probably have hybrid offspring
The male calf has made his public debut and voting is now open on names:

Giant panda lease extended until December:
Lease period for Xiang Xiang the panda at Tokyo zoo extended again due to pandemic - The Mainichi
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced on March 26 that China's lease of the giant panda Xiang Xiang to a zoo in the capital will be extended from the end of May to the end of December 2021.
The 3-year-old female panda was initially scheduled to be returned to China at the end of December 2020, but the lease period was extended to the end of May this year due to the spread of the coronavirus. However, as staff from both Japan and China remain unable to travel to each other's countries, officials decided to extend the lease period again.

Until now, while one cub was being cared for by their mother, the other had spent time in a nursery room. Shin Shin is apparently taking care of the two cubs in a calm manner, such as breastfeeding them at the same time.
