Recently, I’ve seen a lot of gift shops selling Domo-kun plushies and merchandises. Ah, it must be the Domo-kun hype now. (’ w ‘) You even get to see a lot of images online with Domo-kun in it, especially made famous by the one with the kitten running in front of 2 Domo-kun(s). (^_^)”’ Haa~
Domo-kun’s story
Domo-kun, the main character, is a strange brown creature that hatched from an egg. He has a large, saw-toothed mouth that is always open, always looks like he is roaring or something like that. ;) Although he doesn’t really roar, he usually speaks with a low deep voice and only two syllabus “doomoo”. He likes to watch TV, eat Japanese-style meat and potato stew but has a strong dislike for apples.
Domo-kun lives with Mr. Usajii (a grandfatherly rabbit) in an underground cave, along with two bat neighbours, Shinobu and Morio. There’s also Domo-kun’s friends who lives around his neighbourhood:
Ta-chan - a girl weasel who likes fashion and technology,
Kogumagoro also known as Kuma no ko - a timid bear cub,
Hanaichi and Hanaji - 2 flowers,
Anikichi, Esuko and Konjiro - 3 fox brothers,
Harapekoguma - a big bear who is always hungry,
Hyutarou - a ghost.
