Kapibara-san - カピバラさん

Por kirai el 25 de April de 2008 en Various

Kapibara-san is a character created by Banpresto. At the beginning you could only get a Kapibara-san from toy crane vending machines. But people wanted it so much that they started selling it everywhere, different sizes, different colors, T-shirts, books and all kinds of merchandising. It is interesting how they managed to create a phenomenon just from a boring and simple animal (A capybara). The point is that it is really “kawai” (cute), and Japanese love “kawai” stuff. I like it!

    Spent $10 on a crane game in Shibuya trying to get one, with more than one of my attempts misfiring due to a wonky control setup. Save yourself the aggravation and spend the 5000 Yen.

    They are numerous here in Brazil. They are lazy and not agressive. you can find them in urban parks.

  13. Kapibara is so cute! :D Oh well, only those who appreciate its simplicity would think it’s cute. Those who think otherwise are missing out!
