So why does he only have one eye? That's because on New Year's Day you make a wish and fill in one eye. If your wish comes true, you can fill in the other. My wish is secret, but if it comes true I will fill in the second eye.
Daruma is the Japanese word for "Dharma", and comes from the name "Bodhidharma", who was the founder of Zen Buddism, just in case you wanted to know!
