In some of the cars I valet I’ve noticed some interesting 'toon characters from Japan…Hello Kitty, a rabbit called Mashi Maro, and a black Penguin-like bird with a crown? and half-lidded eyes, as if he has an attitude. Who is he?
I can’t believe I’m answering this. Blame it on a lack of sleep, a good search engine, and a surplus of boredom.
Is it this thing? From Google’s group of characters, apparently it’s named Badtz Maru.
Don’t we have a poster here named that?
Yes. Haven’t seen anything from him in awhile, but that might just be because I don’t read the boards very often anymore.
Yes, it’s Badtz-Maru (also known as Bad Badtz-Maru or XO). You can check out the penguin’s official bio at the Sanrio site.
Yep, that’s him.
I’ve found love again and have been distracted. I’ll probably be back more after she breaks my heart.
