Are the Kerotan frogs littered throughout the game a reference to a Sanrio character? The design looked familar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Last edited by TheMytho on Tue Jun 10, 2008 10:36 pm; edited 1 time in total |

The Kerotan Frogs are not based on the Sanrio Character "Keroppi". Apparently there are actual figures just like the Kerotan that are widely sold in Japan. Though I am not sure what their purpose is or their popularity. | ||||

I did some digging and came across this.
Apparently the Kerotan line is Konami-branded merchandise aimed at children along with a duck named Ga-Ko. All sorts of hygiene/bathroom items bearing Kerotan's likeness, such as soap dispensers, towel hangers, toothbrush kits, etc. are sold in Japan. I was also able to find books based on Kerotan as well. I wonder if Konami manufactures a regular plastic Kerotan doll? I would be interested in placing one on my desk. |
