Kure Kure Takora - Characters

Characters

• Kure Kure Takora

Kure Kure Takora is a red octopus. He uses a type of Ninjitsu where he can transform anything from a dopey iguana to a vacuum cleaner to a guitar. His best friend is the weak-willed peanut-inspired Chonbo. While he has friends, he seems to have no problems leaving them for dead if he has to make a fast getaway. Like all other characters in the show, Kure Kure is in love with the fickle pink walrus Monro. His greatest fear is being soaked with vinegar and being served as Sudako (pickled octopus).

• Chonbo

Kure Kure Takora's best friend and toadie, is a squash-humanoid of the genus cucurbita, who is able to cough up coins for vending machines at will. Although he is complicit in many of Kure Kure's crazy schemes, he's just as often on the receiving end of Kure Kure's abuse. Chonbo is often seen somersaulting and tumbling.

• To Ro Ro

Is a short jellyfish who squawks like a dolphin. He is able to spray vinegar out of the top of his head via a sprinkler. Kure Kure often attempts to neutralize this super power—since Kure Kure is afraid of vinegar—by throwing hats on To Ro Ro's head. To Ro Ro can turn invisible and teleport at will and is an even a bigger trouble-maker than Kure Kure Takora. Most of the other characters are frightened of him.

• Monro

Is pink walrus with a breathy voice and sexy theme music that all the other male characters pursue. She often demands unreasonable things from her suitors only to lose interest in them. She has been romantically involved with every creature—even the repellent sea cucumber gang—on the show.

• Debura

A rotund badger who is often seen chewing on the stub of a cigar, this tough cop runs the local jail. He's the only character who wears clothes.

• Biragon

A dumb, slow-witted iguana, he is extremely lazy and spends most of his time sleeping. He may also be the richest character on the show as he often has a new gadget or toy that is coveted by Kure Kure.

• The Sea Cucumber Gang

This trio has their own theme song which they occasionally break in to. It is believed they represent anger (Ikari), happiness (Hera Hera) and sadness (Shiku Shiku). The Sea Cucumber Gang are on the very bottom of the hierarchy of the characters, and poor Shiku Shiku gets picked on the most!
